The story line of Luke is the key to the theology of the gospel. Luke's literary skill appears in the division of his book into major sections and in its construction of deeply moving individual scenes. "Luke's Story of Jesus" lays bare this story in such a way that the evangelist's message takes on new life. The basic category for Luke's interpretation of Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy. In addition to the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, Luke also held that the gentile mission, the destruction of the Temple, and Jesus' Second Coming had been revealed by the Holy Spirit to the prophets. Edwards' constant question is not whether what Luke said was accurate historically, but rather what point he was making about Jesus by telling the story the way he did.
