| Summary: | This study of the Luke–Acts corpus recounts the continually expanding inclusiveness of the Christian faith from Jerusalem to Europe and to the whole world. This reading includes the disruption of a basic Jewish exclusivist orientation in the choosing of the disciples, through redefinitions of “neighbor” in Samaritans, a supernaturalism-infused incident on the road to Gaza with a eunuch of ambiguous gender/sexuality, a metaphor of the sheet let down from heaven leading to table fellowship with a Roman centurion, to Paul’s disrupted Asian mission that took him to Macedonia and the inclusion of Europe. |
