description: In this 2nd of two volumes on the Gospel According to Luke, beginning with chapter 10, Joseph A. Fitzmyer builds on the exhaustive introduction, definitive new translation, &amp; extensive notes &amp; commentary presented in his 1st volume. Fitzmyer brings to the task his mastery of ancient &amp; modern languages, his encyclopedic knowledge of the sources, &amp; his intimate acquaintance with the questions &amp; issues raised by the 3rd Synoptic Gospel. In "joining the spirit to the letter" &amp; scholarship to faith, this two-volume commentary on Luke has, as the "Journal of Biblical Literature" predicted, "rapidly &amp; deservedly become the standard work on Luke." Luke's unique literary &amp; linguistic features, its relation to the other Gospels &amp; the book of Acts, &amp; its distinctive theological slant are discussed in detail by the author. The Jesus of Luke's Gospel speaks to the Greco-Roman world of 1st-century Christians, giving the followers of Jesus a reason for remaining faithful. Fitzmyer's exposition of Luke helps modern-day Christians hear the Good News afresh &amp; understand it like never before.
