Publisher's Synopsis
This study of the Third Gospel is based on two main ideas: first, that it is 'Pauline' and bears the imprint of the association between Paul and its writer, assumed to be Luke, and secondly, that it is a narrative, a written account that takes the form of a story. As a narrative, it is quite different from the argumentative, conceptual style of Paul's letters. This study illustrates how Pauline themes are 'translated' into the deceptive simplicity of narrative, giving particular attention to the parables.
