About This Book

A chapter-by-chapter exposition of the third Gospel offers literary, theological, and pastoral readings of its narrative and teachings. It sets the opening narratives and hymnic material in a liturgical context, traces infancy and nativity scenes, and analyzes parables, miracles, and moral instructions; specific treatments include the Virgin mother, shepherds, John the Baptist, the sower, the Good Samaritan, the centurion, healing and feeding miracles, the transfiguration, Gethsemane, the passion, and the first Lord's Day. The author emphasizes musical and sacramental motifs, continuity with earlier scripture, and ethical and eschatological implications for worship and discipleship.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Farrar

[2] The narrative is of doubtful authenticity; but even should it be proved to be a postscript by some later scribe, it would still point to a tradition, which, as Stier says, was "well founded and genuine."

[3] Phillips Brooks.

[4] The word rendered "wilderness" means any land unenclosed.

[5] This demand was made from the Apostles (xii. 33), but not from others beyond the Apostolic circle.

[6] The name "Lazarus" is derived from El-ezer, or "God helps."
