Twenty-three leading scholars interact in this volume with Luke-Acts. They study a variety of themes and pericopes. From Luke's view of money and property, the relationship of tamid and eucharist, to the reception of Luke-Acts in Cyprian's work, it brings new insights to the fore. The essays on individual passages interact with the Jewish and pagan contexts of the work and approach their topics through several different methodological approaches. Editors and authors offer this collection as a token of friendship and gratitude to Bart J. Koet, collected at the occasion of his retirement.
