| Summary: | Context is critical when discussing what Luke puts forth with his heroes and other narrated characters. To do this, some observations regarding the prevalent intellectual, spiritual atmosphere in a Greco-Roman urban centre are made as well as some suggestions for situating Luke-Acts within this general experience at a possible occasion for a probable audience. Luke basically accepts his society's values. His nuanced and sophisticated way of relating the Jesus story and the heroes of the Jesus movement to contemporary beliefs and values reflects an attempt at reconciliation. It would be quite difficult and complex to retell Luke's stories today, and a few remarks regarding this issue are made. |
