Opis

Compares the Gospel of Luke’s account of John’s ministry with those of Matthew, Mark and John. Using comparative ‘test cases’ and a literary-critical approach, Chauchot argues that the Gospel of Luke involves a reshaping of Matthew and Mark. Adds to research in the area of New Testament exegesis.
