| Summary: | Scholars and careful readers of Luke–Acts have long noted verbal, narrative and thematic parallels between pairs or among groups of pericopes. Dispute remains, however, over whether Luke deliberately composed passages in parallel, what bearing parallel elements have on the macrostructure of the two-volume work, and whether ancient readers could be expected to detect and appreciate them. Focusing on Lk. 7.1-17 and 8.40-56, this article will use eleven tests developed in a recent work by Douglas McComiskey to argue that Luke did indeed compose two pairs of healing/resurrection stories in parallel, and will also discuss how this device enhances the rhetorical effect of the second pair. |
