The Kingship of the Twelve Apostles in Luke-Acts

Viac o knihe

The study explores the connection between the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, particularly focusing on the promise of kingship made to the disciples during the Last Supper. David H. Wenkel posits that this promise began to manifest during the events of Pentecost, challenging the notion that it is solely a future expectation. By situating Luke-Acts within Jewish inaugurated eschatology, the work emphasizes the significance of replacing Judas with Matthias to re-establish the Twelve, reshaping the understanding of the relationship between the two texts.
