A New Temple and a New Law: The Unity and Chronicler-based Nature of Luke 1:1-4:22a

| Summary: | The arguments for the separation and relatively late dating of Luke's infancy narrative are not conclusive. On the contrary, while Luke 1 and 2, on analysis, turns out to involve a systematic rewriting of the first part of the Chronicler's history, Luke 3:1-4:22a emerges as its complement - a systematic rewriting of the second part of the Chronicler's work (Ezra-Nehemiah). As the Chronicler had once reshaped Israel's history, Luke re shapes the Chronicler, adapting the building of the Temple to the building of the living Temple, Jesus, and adapting the post-exilic reconstruction to build a picture of moral reconstruction (3:1-4:22a). Thus the pervasive influence of the OT (midrash?) is not limited to the infancy narra tives. |
