{en} Francois Bovon. Luke 3: Commentary on 19:28-24:53. Minneapolis, MN: Fortress Press, 2012 (Hermeneia).

Abstract

"Francois Bovons magisterial commentary on the Gospel of Luke is justly renowned for its combination of judicious historical and literary treatment of the Evangelists context and for its theological sensitivity, informed by the wealth of the Christian interpretative tradition. Luke is clearly writing history in the manner of his Hellenistic and Jewish contemporaries, but Bovon insists he remains as well a theologian of the Word of God. This volume completes the three-volume work (based upon Bovons four volumes in the German EKK series) and represents the authors careful revision and updating of the German original."--
