Narrative Soteriology of Luke: The Social Reconfiguration of the Lukan Community (original) (raw)

2018, Narrative Soteriology of Luke

Th.M. thesis on the social soteriology of Luke-Acts, completed under the supervision of C. Kavin Rowe, Duke University. In this thesis, I argue that Luke's soteriological paradigm is focused more on the communal/collective transformation and the reconfiguration of his envisioned society than on the individualistic change. Luke is concerned with the reordering of the social values of his community, especially when it comes to women. The story of the hemorrhaging woman is a good example of this "social soteriology" which I investigate in this thesis, after I examine the socio-political motifs in the infancy narratives and the Galilean ministry of Jesus.
