Reviews
King maintains that the economic message about wealth and poverty in Luke's Gospel was radical in the late first and early second centuries and remains radical for today. While his is a closely detailed exegetical analysis, it is also a work of constructive theology, making it doubly valuable. Subsequent scholars of wealth and poverty in Luke will surely need to acknowledge their debt to his sedulous incorporation of cutting-edge postcolonial and liberationist interpretations from the margins. --Gregory Allen Robbins, University of Denver King offers a comprehensive reappraisal of Luke that is itself radical. . . . King argues not only that Luke's Gospel is faithful to Jesus' ministry to the poor, but he demonstrates that Luke confronts economic injustice in ways that go well beyond traditions of Jesus' preaching. King's recasting of Luke's Gospel is not a simple historical reevaluation of the text, it is a contemporary prophetic interpretation of Scripture. Let those who have ears to hear, hear. --Pamela Eisenbaum, Iliff School of Theology
