Study the whole Lukan account of Jesus and the early church with the big picture in mind. In Robert Tannehill’s two-volume commentary, the two-part Lukan narrative is taken as a single literary work, reflecting on the literary and linguistic consistency between the two books. Verse by verse, Tannehill analyzes the patterns, ideologies, and linguistic devices that Luke employs, and argues how they contribute to his audience’s reception of his work. The Narrative Unity of Luke-Acts provides a strong interpretive lens in the field of biblical literary studies—a field of research which theologians cannot ignore.
