“Few scholars would dare to—or be able to—accomplish what Professor Sean Kealy does in this extraordinary survey of scholarship on the Gospel of Luke, tracked from the dawn of the church to the present day. He notes that although Matthew seems to have been the most widely used gospel in the early centuries of the church, Luke’s account has had a tenacious grip on the Christian imagination and its bold theology still holds sway. Kealy’s wide-ranging and lively erudition enables him to track Lukan scholarship through the ages, including the current debate about the hegemony of critical biblical scholarship and the variety of new approaches demanding to be heard.”
– Fr. Donald Senior, C.P., President and Professor of New Testament, Catholic Theological Union at Chicago.
