The Challenge of Luke-Acts to Contemporary Christians

Blaine B. Charette

Leiden

Brill

Johnson cogently makes the case that in Luke-Acts the prophetic message articulates God's vision for humanity: a message presented in words but also embodied in the deeds and character of the Church as a prophetic community. Luke's perspective confronts the Church with an ongoing challenge to realize its full potential in living out this utopian vision. One might quibble with certain exegetical conclusions and points of emphasis within the argument but that does not detract from the valuable contribution made by this study.
