Chris Luthy presents a rigorous and sound critique of the quite widespread assumption that Luke makes a number of Jubilee allusions throughout Luke-Acts, particularly in the programmatic Luke 4:18-22. He argues, correctly in my opinion, that Luke's gentile audience was highly unlikely to pick up such subtle allusions. Linking these passages to the kingdom of God has far greater explanatory power. This is an important work which I highly commend. --Greg Forbes, Head of Department of Biblical Studies, Melbourne School of Theology, Australia Those who desire to understand more deeply a central component to Jesus' mission according to Luke will greatly benefit from reading Dr. Luthy's work. Particularly in light of the significant emphasis on justice and political action, Luthy's work is a fair re-thinking of what Jesus' primary intention was. I highly recommend this monograph for the Bible scholar, the Bible student, and the pastor trying to help the congregation stand faithful in an unjust society, holding on to the true nature of the kingdom of God. --Andrew Brake, Spiritual Advisor, Jaffray Theological Seminary, Indonesia; author of Visions of the Lamb of God
