This 186-page book focuses on Luke-Acts through the lens of prophecy. The author draws from his rich knowledge based on his previous writings on those books. In fact, the book does not contain a single footnote. Johnson does not interact with the scholarly community in this book; instead, he focuses on the texts themselves. He describes five characteristics of the prophet and analyzes how these play out in the life of Jesus and the life of the early church: (1) The prophet is led by the Spirit of God; (2) The prophet speaks God's Word to humans; (3) The prophet embodies God's Word; (4) The prophet enacts God's vision; and (5) The prophet bears witness in the face of opposition. This is an interesting and relevant approach to the content of these books that make up one-fourth of the New Testament. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In this and every age, the church desperately needs prophecy. It needs the bold proclamation of God’s transforming vision to challenge its very human tendency toward expediency and self-interest -- to jolt it into new insight and energy. For Luke Timothy Johnson, the New Testament books Luke and Acts provide that much-needed jolt to conventional norms. To read Luke-Acts as a literary unit, he says, is to uncover a startling prophetic vision of Jesus and the church -- and an ongoing call for today’s church to embody and proclaim God’s vision for the world.
