Steve Reece offers a groundbreaking linguistic analysis of the Third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, focusing on the deliberate use of proper names to convey thematic depth. In this meticulous study, Reece explores how the author of Luke-Acts employs wordplay, etymological significance, and symbolic naming conventions to signal theological priorities. By examining these names within their historical and literary contexts, the author reveals how the text functions on multiple levels, guiding the reader toward a richer understanding of the narrative's structure and message. This scholarly volume is an essential resource for those engaged in advanced biblical exegesis, providing fresh perspectives on the intentionality behind the Lukan text. Whether you are researching Lukan theology or interested in the literary artistry of the New Testament, this book provides the tools you need to decode these subtle yet significant markers.
