Through Many Tribulations : The Theology of Persecution in Luke-Acts Hardback
by Scott Cunningham
Part of the The Library of New Testament Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book, the first comprehensive study of persecution in Luke-Acts from a literary and theological perspective, argues that the author uses the theme of persecution in pursuit of his theological agenda.
It brings to the surface six theological functions of the persecution theme, which has an important paraenetic and especially apologetic role for Luke's persecuted community.
The persecution Luke's readers suffer is evidence that they are legitimate recipients of God's salvific blessings.
