Description
Summary:A systematic investigation is called for into Luke xv. 3–10. No study in depth has been given to it, and this is sad since it has some relationship to Matt. xii. 11–12, and to the Johannine account of the so-called Cleansing of the Temple, which last, though it is based on a narrative resembling Mark's, contains many unexplained elements. It may be granted that Luke keeps before his mind the general pattern of Deuteronomy, and that we have here Jesus' proclamation of material transcending Moses'. But a true placing of the whole against the background of scripture and the practice of the times has not been attempted, and when this is done some astonishing things emerge, for which readers of the present author's contributions will not be entirely unprepared.
