oMakes important contributions to the study of Luke and Acts, biblical studies generally, and the growing body of literature on theory and method in biblical criticism...[A] fine and provocative piece of work.O NR. Alan Culpepper, Baylor University Other scriptural voices can be heard in Luke-Acts. This book aims to help readers overhear such voices and uncover new levels of meaning in these essential texts. Brawley presents Luke-Acts as a sustained interplay of the story of Jesus and the early church with texts of Hebrew scripture, showing how explicit allusions evoke implicit voices. He shows that intertextuality is the means by which Luke-Acts conveys its meaning to the reader and demonstrates that a theocentric viewpoint controls Lucan dialogues with scripture.
