Opis

This work provides a new approach to reading Acts 15. It reads both Peter's and James' speeches in Acts 15 in light of Jesus' view of the law in the Gospel of Luke.

Recenzje

"Dr. Chen's study is a welcome and helpful addition to the debate over the Lukan understanding of the Law. She makes an important contribution in linking the debate over Gentile law-keeping in Acts 15 to the words of the Lukan Jesus and locating Luke's theology of the Law in the authority of the risen Lord." -Mark Seifrid, Professor of Exegetical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis
