Beskrivning
What happens to the racial identity of those who follow Jesus? Abraham, Ancestry, and Ethnicity in Luke’s Gospel: From These Stones explores how Luke employs the concept of ancestry—especially descent from Abraham—to recategorize believers and nonbelievers. Luke’s use of the patriarch is informed by his function in Second Temple literature, as the ancestor of the Israel, but also the father of several other races, and a point of surprising contact between Jews and gentiles. In his gospel, Luke offers a new layer of ethnic identity to gentile believers, as adjunct members of Abraham’s family tree.

Recensioner i media

In this richly detailed, elegantly written, and thoughtful book, Andrew Benko explores Luke’s “racial reasoning” using an “ethnos-conscious approach”. Setting his analysis of Luke in the context of other Jewish, Greek and Roman writings, Benko explores the various ways in which Luke appeals to ancestry, and especially to Abraham, to construct the identity of Christ-believers as well as to configure their relationship to (other) Judeans. He also conducts this primarily historical enquiry with a sensitivity to its contemporary implications, and to the ambivalent legacy that such texts bequeath to us.
