    Is There a Structure to Luke's Travel Narrative?

    About this ebook

    The fact that we have four gospels suggests that each focuses on different aspects of the life and ministry of Jesus. Bible commentators have generally been successful at providing outlines to guide us through the text and to bring out those unique emphases.

    The central section of Luke’s gospel is an exception. It seems more like a hotchpotch of unrelated stories than the orderly account that Luke claims to write. Different outlines have been tried but none appears to work. Scholars cannot even agree where this section should end.

    This book offers a solution to the puzzle, proposing that the travel narrative be divided into three major teaching blocks and an appendix. This outline directly impacts the way we read the stories in these chapters and it also changes our understanding of the theology of Luke, the chronology of Jesus and the solution to the Synoptic Problem.

    Tan Geok Hock is a bible lecturer at various theological institutions in Malaysia. His main area of interest is the gospels. This book is an abridged and updated version of the thesis he submitted for the degree of Master of Theology.

    Author

    Geok Hock Tan

    Love for flying led Geok Hock to pursue a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, only to find out that it was not going to be easy to build his own aircraft. He did the next best thing - worked seven years for an airline, obtaining an MBA in the process, before turning to the financial sector where he would spend another fourteen years until God called him into full-time Christian service. After two years in pastoral ministry, he decided to focus on teaching for which he completed a Master of Theology concentrating on the New Testament. His main area of interest is the gospels. He currently guest lectures at various theological institutions in Malaysia. When not doing that, he follows the fall and rise of Fulham Football Club. He is married to Vivien, his constant companion over the past twenty years.
