Summary:

This scholarly work by Jonathan M. Potter explores the compositional techniques and theological implications of Luke's Gospel within the framework of 'rewritten scripture.' Drawing upon the author's extensive academic background and dissertation research, the book examines how Luke reinterpreted and restructured the Gospel of Mark, employing narrative techniques and exegetical strategies reflective of early Jewish and Greco-Roman literary traditions. The text also engages with broader debates surrounding the classification and definition of 'rewritten scripture,' offering a refined perspective on its composition, form, and function. Designed for an academic audience, particularly those in biblical studies and early Christian literature, the book provides in-depth analysis of the Book of Jubilees and other early Jewish texts to contextualize Luke's rewriting process.
