With this revised and updated survey, now covering more than a half century of study, Bovon provides an especially helpful guide. Luke the Theologian shows once again the author's encyclopedic mastery of the literature on Luke, his uncommon gift for concise summary and fair and candid appraisal, and his deep, life-long engagement with these New Testament writings. John Carroll, Harriet Robertson Fitts Memorial Professor of New Testament and Dean of Union-PSCE at Richmond Bovon's helpful survey maps the field in a way that reveals both general contours and distinctive trajectories. He describes the mountains and peaks but also uncovers a few chasms. It is a guidebook to enhance our exploration of scripture, charting out what has already been done and pointing the way toward future discoveries.
