<p>Among the classics of ancient Greek and Jewish literature, the literary genius of Luke and Acts has few rivals, but we moderns miss much of the meaning of Luke’s two-part drama. Our problem begins with the fact that we read it. We have difficulty hearing Luke-Acts as it would have been heard by ancient listeners — in public performance by a skilled storyteller.</p> <p>Unlike most books about the Bible, <I>The Way according to Luke,/I> unlocks the big picture of Jesus’ mission by attending to the repetition, patterns, and other clues of oral narrative. In this single volume Paul Borgman lays out a holistic view of the organic unity between Luke and Acts while demonstrating that the meaning of Luke-Acts is uniquely embedded in its narrative.</p> <p>Borgman’s distinctive work makes available both the satisfying pleasure of reading the Bible as great literature and the rewarding insight gained from receiving Scripture as it was originally delivered.</p>
