This study investigates Lukan soteriology, arguing that Luke-Acts offers a complete, holistic, embodied, and political soteriology, cosmic in scope and exhibiting Christus Victor form, that takes up space in the world and includes both the what and how of salvation. Though most scholars agree that salvation is a central theme of Luke-Acts, Lukan soteriology has been viewed as somewhat lacking, judged as presenting the what of salvation, its content, without having a developed means of salvation, the how. This how includes an understanding of atonement. At times, this assessment is driven by an unfair imposition of external theological criteria, especially those derived from assessments of Pauline theology. This study argues that Luke develops a complete scheme that presents salvation as achieved through Jesus's life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension taking a Christus Victor form, using Irenaeus's particular Christus Victor model as a point of comparison. Further, this study critiques a tendency to reduce Lukan salvation to a reductively religious sphere. Rather, salvation pertains to the whole person as an embodied, social, religious, and political being. Conceiving of politics as more than the art of governance, salvation pertains to the organization of resources and bodies in space, and space is conceived, relying on modern spatial theory, as a field of power socially produced and inhabited by bodies. Salvation pertains not simply to individuals reconciling with God, but the reconciliation of the world to heaven in a way that overcomes the simplistic dichotomy, religion/politics. Characteristic of this salvation is God's continuous work for Israel (and the nations through Israel) and God's initiatory forgiveness, concerned with establishing justness, but without specific emphasis on the satisfaction of justice or debt through vicarious expiation. In assessing Lukan soteriology, a narrative approach is adopted, attempting to understand the beginning, middle, and end of salvation and how the elements associated with each narrative component influence how we understand the whole without imposing, as best we can, foreign categories. This study proceeds by attending to significant and programmatic passages in Luke-Acts (Luke 1:68-79; 4:18-19; Acts 1-2; 13:16-52). These passages evince a developing soteriological narrative that is grounded in God's covenant faithfulness to Israel, Israel's restoration, and Israel's mission to the nations, who are incorporated, along with Israel, under the Davidic tent. This is a salvation unfolding in space, and the tension of Acts' ending aligns with the tension of the soteriological narrative, waiting for the restoration of all things.
