Description including Unit Aims

This unit concentrates on a restricted range of texts and themes in the context of an overview of the whole two volume work. The focus is predominantly on Luke&�s theology and meaning, but with some attention being given to historical and source-critical questions. The treatment of texts seeks to introduce the student to the range of scholarly opinion that exists and to demonstrate the need for detailed textual analysis. The treatment of themes seeks to encourage a reading of the Gospel as a unified whole.
