This course will introduce students to the text of Luke’s Gospel, to the issues central to its interpretation, and to its relevance in contemporary contexts. Introductory topics such as authorship, date, sources, genre, socio-political context, and literary character will be examined. Particular attention will focus on the narrative’s formulation of Christology and articulation of salvation history. This focus will inform an examination of the Gospel’s presentation of the followers of Christ and of the believing community, especially its attitude toward the marginalized, possessions, and hierarchy.
