Synopsis

Using Luke's own prologue as the guideline for his commentary, Fred B. Craddock calls attention to the continuities between Jesus and his heritage in Judaism and the church after him. Like Luke, Craddock assumes the reader is not only a believer but also a leader in the community of faith.

Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching is a distinctive resource for those who interpret the Bible in the church. Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

Reviews

Craddock, a noted professor of preaching and of New Testament, provides an introduction to Luke, a section-by-section commentary on Luke's Gospel, and a selected bibliography. This commentary is focused upon the use of Luke's Gospel in Christian preaching and teaching, concentrating on the meaning of the narrative as a whole, its sequences, and its echoes of the Old Testament. Highly recommended for seminaries and public libraries.
