| Summary: | This article analyzes the ways in which Luke–Acts presents the character of God. The God of Israel and of all peoples has a plan that can be discovered in the Scriptures, through angelic visits and visions, and especially through the voices of Spirit-inspired characters. Even reliable speakers characterize God differently, however, giving readers more than one perspective on God and God’s will. Luke portrays Christian faith as consistent with the best traditions of Israel and with the will of Israel’s God. |
