At the heart of this narratival exposure lies a particular theology of women. This narratival presentation and theology is rich and quite remarkable given the socio-religious climate in which Luke wrote. An appreciation of this "narratival theology" is important, not only for a well-rounded understanding of Luke-Acts, but as a vital part of the variegated witness of the New Testament regarding the role of women in God's new community.

"The only way to get to the realities of women among the followers of Jesus and in the earliest churches is methodological patience. We must probe the evidence from all angles - social realities, archaeological studies, exegetical examinations, and theological perspectives. What Forbes and Harrower offer in Raised from Obscurity is a profound literary propositional analysis in its many dimensions. This book will become a necessary beginning for all future studies of women in Luke-Acts and will challenge more than a few who are intent on suppressing the voices of women. In this book women in Luke-Acts witness to Jesus with clarity and power."- Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary, Lombard, IL
"In Raised from Obscurity Forbes and Harrower provide a sensitive narrative and theological reading of women in Luke-Acts. They show Luke's mosaic of women both in the ministry of Jesus and in the early church, raising awareness and possibilities for women of faith today. This is a book that will resource scholars, pastors, and preachers from across the theological spectrum."
- Sarah Harris, NT Lecturer, Carey Baptist College, Auckland, NZ
"A thorough study of the women in Luke-Acts. ... [Raised from Obscurity] should be taken into consideration in theological debates concerning the place of women in Christian ministry today."
- Melanie A. Howard, Biblical Theology Bulletin, Volume 47, 2017
"This is a carefully argued and thorough book which aims to integrate insights from narrative criticism with a theological reading of Luke-Acts, seeking to recover Luke's theology of women."
- Alison M. Jack, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Vol 39(5), August 2017
