BIBL 5033 - LUKE-ACTS

This course examines the narratives of Luke as he presents the story of Jesus and the story of the Early Church to Theophilus. Special attention will be given to the text with regard to its political, social and religious setting in a Greco-Roman and Jewish context. The theology that arises from the literary structure that connects these books will be investigated. The nature and function of the Spirit will be addressed, especially in relation to ecclesiology, soteriology and eschatology, as well as Pentecostal theologies that have developed from Luke’s writings. The mission and message of the early Christian community will be investigated.
