Episode notes
Jesus's Introduction in Luke
- Luke introduces Jesus's story by weaving it into Israel's history and prophecy.
- This emphasizes Jesus as a continuation of Jewish hope, similar to other Gospels but with a more subtle, literary approach.
Old Testament Context
- Reading the Gospels without Old Testament context is like watching the last movie of a trilogy without the first two.
- You miss the depth and context, though the story stands alone.
Women in Luke
- Luke uniquely highlights women in the Jesus movement, like Joanna, wife of Herod's household manager.
- This demonstrates Jesus's radical inclusion and the gospel's social impact.
