Luke and Acts brings together some of the finest articles yet contributed to the field of studies on Luke written by some of the most highly-recognized authors in the area of biblical theology. Their collaborative efforts, with the en-couragement and under the inspiration of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, directly address significant and contempo-rary topics in Lukan study.

Luke and Acts explores such current topics as: Luke's use of Jewish scriptures, his relation to Paul and the Johannine literature, his attitude toward the ecclesial role of women, and his understanding of time with respect to the time of the Old Testament, the time of Jesus and the time of the church.
