| Summary: | The Gospel of Luke presents nior«; as an essential response to Jesus. Lukan faith entails elements of both trust and propositional belief, although the propositional aspect is not focused on doctrinal content so much as an attitude to the message of the Gospel. Luke presents faith as a dichotomy, exemplified by the initial belief or unbelief shown by Mary and Zechariah. Luke omits or modifies instances where Matthew or Mark draw attention to complexity or development, leading to the overall impression that one either has faith or does not. The essential ongoing aspect of faith is faithful action, indicated primarily with the adjective 'faithful' (moroc). For those familiar with the story of Jesus (cf. 1 :4), the use of niortc encourages the audience to certainty in the message conveyed by Luke, a certainty that is to lead to action. |
