Description
Summary:Luke, and not least in the infancy narratives, introduces parallels, which, featuring similarities and differences, enrich the story and theological meaning. In a parallel not fully appreciated by Bovon, Tannehill, and other commentators, Luke links Mary and Simeon through the themes of ‘slave’, ‘word’, and in other ways. This article explores seven links that the evangelist makes between Mary and Simeon.
