Description
Applies literary-critical methods to the two New Testament writings attributed to Luke. The focus is on the death of Jesus. Tyson's clear treatment of Luke's view of the growing opposition to Jesus from the Jewish leadership and his discussion of the circumstances that ultimately led to the crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans provide a deeper understanding of these two important texts.
