| Summary: | Luke presents Mary as one who resembles King David in many ways. Luke engages in "imitative historiography" by creating a network of verbal and theological connections between the Nathan oracle in 2 Samuel 7 and the annunciation scene in Luke 1. Other verbal links between these two figures and the similar roles they play as models of faith suggest that, for Luke, Mary is a new David. She is an example of the faithful disciple, whose responsive belief in the promise of a son echoes David's paradigmatic faith. |
