Luke alone among the Gospel authors uses kyrios (Lord) programmatically and expansively to narrate the identity of Jesus. Detailed attention to Luke’s narrative artistry and his use of Mark demonstrates that Luke has a nuanced and sophisticated christology centered on Jesus’ identity as Lord.
"[...] this is a significant and sophisticated study that makes an important contribution to our understanding of Luke's Christiology."Andrew Gregory in: Expository Times 9/2009 "It is a "must read" for all Lukan scholars, very helpful for all biblical scholars, and suitable as a textbook for courses on Luke."K. Tolppanen in: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses 4/2009 "[...] a welcome contribution to the investigation of NT theology."Sigurd Grindheim in: Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 12/2007 "This is a clear and well-written argument, which will be read with interest by all those interested in Luke's Christiology."Peter M. Head in: Journal for the Study of the new Testament 5/2007 "Das durch Bibliographie und Register gut erschlossene Buch ist vor allem dem exegetischen Fachpublikum warmstens zu empfehlen."In: Bibel und Kirche 3/2007
