Gospel of Luke: Introductions

The relationship between the four initial chapters of Luke's Gospel, or parts thereof, and the rest of Luke-Acts has been perceived in various ways and with varying consequences. The present study examines afresh this relationship, having first established the literary structure of Luke's two-volume work (chs. I and II).
