| Summary: | Luke designed the narrative of Luke 7:36-50 in a way that heightens the tension for his first-century audience. The polarity emphasized in the narrative-a sinful woman at a Pharisee's dinner table-corresponds well to the experience of first-century Christians who share meal fellowship with a diverse range of Christ-followers. This expository retelling highlights elements in the structure and rhetoric of Luke's storytelling in order to help twenty-first-century readers of this passage understand how early hearers would have experienced the story. |
