Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church: The Challenge of Luke -

Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church: The Challenge of Luke - Acts to Contemporary Christians

In this and every age, the church desperately needs prophecy. It needs the bold proclamation of Godâ€™s transforming vision to challenge its very human tendency toward expediency and self-interest â€• to jolt it into new insight and energy. For Luke Timothy Johnson, the New Testament books Luke and Acts provide that much-needed jolt to conventional norms. To read Luke-Acts as a literary unit, he says, is to uncover a startling prophetic vision of Jesus and the church â€• and an ongoing call for todayâ€™s church to embody and proclaim Godâ€™s vision for the world.
