Conflict in Luke: Jesus, Authorities, Disciples

by Jack Dean Kingsbury

Intertwined with Luke's story of Jesus are two other story lines - the story of the authorities, who come into conflict with Jesus over the crucial issue of whom God has chosen to rule Israel, and the story of the disciples, who are both loyal and uncomprehending. Kingsbury leads the reader into the dramatic narrative of Luke's Gospel by tracing and interpreting all three stories. An introductory chapter provides orientation to basic features of literary analysis.
