A statement from the author:

"This work which focuses on the basic theological questions of Luke emerged from my preparations on my critical commentary on Luke (also to be published by John Knox Press). The more I delved into the book of Luke, the more intrigued I became. To my own surprise I discovered that Luke's approach helped me to a new understanding of the meaning of the Christ event.

This compact volume emphasizes basic theological questions. An important introduction. It functions as an excellent initial acquaintance with Schweizer's style and offers insights into his method of thought and biblical interpretation. Professors, seminary students, and serious students of the Bible can use this work as a focal point for getting into Schweizer's scholarly, critical commentaries: THE GOOD NEWS ACCORDING TO MARK, THE GOOD NEWS ACCORDING TO MATTHEW, and his Luke commentary

This work is a valuable tool for thought and study.
