C. Kavin Rowe's keenest essays on Luke, Acts, and Paul, collected into one volume

How should scholars undertake New Testament interpretation? C. Kavin Rowe unfolds a careful, multidisciplinary approach across fifteen of his most incisive articles and chapters. Focusing on Luke, Acts, and Paul's letters, this authoritative collection exemplifies how to enrich exegesis through historical inquiry, philosophical reasoning, and theological reflection. Topics include:
- The historical context of the Roman imperial cult
- Ecclesial theology in Luke and Acts
- The relationship between Luke and Acts
- Paul and material culture

Seeking the truth of Scripture requires more than a close reading of the text. Rowe's work on Luke, Acts, and Paul demonstrates how fruitful biblical interpretation can be when interpreters cross disciplinary boundaries. This volume is an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars, students, and serious readers of Scripture alike.

Industry Reviews

"Kavin Rowe is a premier scholar of this generation who is able to integrate several horizons of exegesis and theology into his investigation of the New Testament. This erudite collection showcases some of his standout essays on Luke, Acts, and Paul, many of which are classic studies destined to endure for decades. Cutting-edge works on core parts of the New Testament."
--Michael F. Bird, deputy principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia

"These essays display the rare qualities we have come to associate with Kavin Rowe: wide learning, philosophical depth, and theologically serious challenges to the sometimes unexamined consensuses that prevail in New Testament scholarship. Take, read, and be provoked!"
--David Lincicum, associate professor of New Testament and early Christian studies, University of Notre Dame

"The sheer range of interests and their interactions evinced by Rowe's essays on Luke, Acts, and Paul is breathtaking. This collection illustrates his understanding of the Christian mind needed to read the church's scripture rigorously, constructively, and honestly. His intellectual adventures always seem to be in hot pursuit of the truth, and each bears witness to the courage required to take one's stand once there."
--Robert W. Wall, Paul T. Walls Professor Emeritus of Scripture and Wesleyan Studies, Seattle Pacific University and Seminary
