3-EN ( 英文 ), 0200-Exegesis ( 聖經研究 ), 0242-Luke ( 路加福音 ) 

After an introductory chapter giving the setting of Luke's Gospel, outlining the characters (Narrator, God, Satan, Jesus, Disciples, Religious Authorities, People, Minor Characters) and the plot, Kingsbury retells the Gospel as the story of Jesus, the story of the authorities, and the story of the disciples. This retelling emphasizes Jesus as Israel's Messiah and God's Son and reveals the religious authorities as self-righteous, while the disciples are seen as spiritually immature. There is irony in the authorities' "victory," which leads to Jesus' triumph, and there is success in the disciples' growth and maturity. Recommended for seminary and large public libraries.
