Description
Summary:This article examines the alterations that Luke makes to his citation of Joel 3.1-5 in Acts 2.17-21.

Thus, the various changes that Luke makes to Joel's prophecy reflect Luke's theological vision for the way in which Israel's eschatological restoration is occurring within the community of the early church.
