<p>Among the classics of ancient Greek and Jewish literature, the story of Luke-Acts has few rivals. Yet we moderns miss much of the meaning of Luke&#39;s two-part drama because we read it like any other text and not as it would have been <em>heard</em> by ancient listeners -- in public performance by a skilled storyteller.<br />
<em>The Way according to Luke</em> unlocks the big picture of Jesus&#39; mission by attending to the repetition, patterns, and other clues of oral narrative. In this single volume Paul Borgman lays out a holistic view of the organic unity between Luke and Acts while demonstrating that the meaning of Luke-Acts is uniquely embedded in its narrative. Borgman&#39;s distinctive work makes available both the satisfying pleasure of reading the Bible as great literature and the rewarding insight gained from receiving Scripture as it was originally delivered.</p>
