About the Author:
"All too often Acts is studied after and separately from the four Gospels, so that the distinctiveness and consistency of Luke's message, developed across his two volumes, is lost. This new edition of George Shillington's Introduction to the Study of Luke-Acts remedies that neglect. The book continues but amplifies its predecessor's value in opening up Luke's two-part work, especially for those commencing university or college. Based on a deep grasp of the New Testament texts in their social context, Shillington introduces his readers to the engaging content of the Lucan message and the latest critical methods for understanding it. Written with verve and clarity, this book should feature on any reading list for undergraduate New Testament courses but will also provide enlightenment to those at more advanced stages in biblical interpretation." --Philip Esler, University of Gloucestershire, UK
"As this book presents historical, social scientific, socio-rhetorical, narrative, postcolonial, feminist, and theological interpretation of the foundational New Testament story of the emergence of Christianity in Luke and Acts, the reader richly experiences the range of interpretive modes that currently dominate biblical interpretation. Readers of this book should not be surprised if at the end they feel a desire to learn more both about emerging Christianity and about how these approaches yield new insights into all of New Testament literature." --Vernon K. Robbins, Emory University, USA
V. George Shillington is Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Theological Studies, Canadian Mennonite University, Winnipeg, Canada.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - V. George Shillington introduces readers to the text, texture and context of Luke-Acts in this tried and tested introduction, now in its second edition. Using various approaches currently practiced by biblical scholars Shillington outlines the methods of biblical interpretation and then shows how they might be applied to the texts in question.Through historical criticism Shillington looks at and explains questions of authorship, the time and setting of the composition, sources and historical background. Taking a social-science approach he examines the society and culture of the time. Literary readings include narrative, socio-rhetorical, and audience-response approaches, while a theological reading asks how the literary texture and themes of Luke-Acts shape the convictions of Christian communities, past and present. Incorporating modern approaches in the field, Shillington looks at postcolonial and feminist criticism and how they have changed our understanding of these books. Each chapter concludes with a list of further relevant resources, and pertinent review questions. The text is accompanied by charts and diagrams to illustrate key points of language and structure.
