First sentence: how "the Rev. Mr. Luke-we keep this traditional name for the author of Luke-Acts without any prejudice-became one of the heroes or, perhaps in some cases, more or less the villain of the play on the New Testament stage" ("Luke-Acts," 16). Indeed, he has been billed as "the dim wit among the evangelists" (a phrase attributed to G. W. H. Lampe by R. H. Fuller, The New Testament in Current Study [New York: Scribner, 1962] 89).
