How should scholars undertake New Testament interpretation? C. Kavin Rowe unfolds a careful, multidisciplinary approach across fifteen of his most incisive articles and chapters. Focusing on Luke, Acts, and Paul's letters, this authoritative collection exemplifies how to enrich exegesis through historical inquiry, philosophical reasoning, and theological reflection. Topics include:
- The historical context of the Roman imperial cult
- Ecclesial theology in Luke and Acts
- The relationship between Luke and Acts
- Paul and material culture

Seeking the truth of Scripture requires more than a close reading of the text. Rowe's work on Luke, Acts, and Paul demonstrates how fruitful biblical interpretation can be when interpreters cross disciplinary boundaries. This volume is an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars, students, and serious readers of Scripture alike.

C. Kavin Rowe is the George Washington Ivey Distinguished Professor of New Testament and vice dean for faculty at Duke Divinity School.
