Publisher's Synopsis
This -quickbook- is titled -Magnifying Glass- because it's an analysis of the text in Lk 2:40-52: authorship, source, context, structure, literary genre, historicity, and realism of the passage. It's the first quickbook in the Father's Adolescent Series. This theme is a challenge for the average reader. But it's necessary. It provides a foundation for subsequent reflections. It answers these questions: -Are we sure Luke wrote these verses? -Where did he get this information from? -How did he structure this passage? -What was he trying to communicate? -Do we have other episodes from Jesus' youth? -Why did he choose this passage over others? -Did this episode really happen? Is it historical? -How much do we really understand what actually happened? -...and more.
