1. Luke as Historian - Is Luke a reliable historian?



M Goulder, Luke - A New Paradigm

You will need this constantly. For this essay read especially the first part of Volume One, before the commentary, particularly the chapters on Luke method of writing.

Charles H Talbert, Reading Luke (1982)

id. Literary Patterns, Theological Themes and the Genre of Luke-Acts (1971)

Luke T. Johnson, The Gospel of Luke (1991), pp. 2-25

id. The Acts of the Apostles (1992), pp. 3-18

Ernst Haenchen, Die Apostelgeschichte (ET) will have a section on historicity

Eric Franklin, Luke, Interpreter of Paul, Critic of Matthew (1994) - a new book by an Oxford scholar could well produce an examination question!

C.F. Evans, Saint Luke (1990) - a useful commentary
