For scholars studying biblical rhetoric and narrative

Analyzes Jesus' speeches for deeper understanding

You will gain insights into Luke's narrative structure

This scholarly work explores the rhetorical significance of Jesus' speeches in the Lukan Galilean ministry.

Varying degrees of attention are paid to Jesus' four speeches in the Galilean ministry of the "Gospel of Luke". Despite increasing interest in ancient Graeco-Roman rhetoric in biblical studies, few scholars examine the speeches from the lens of ancient rhetorical argument. In addition, with the exception of the inaugural speech in Luke 4.14-30, little attention is afforded to the relevance of the speeches for understanding larger nuances of the narrative discourse and how this affects the hermeneutical appropriation of authorial readers. In contrast, Spencer examines each speech from the context of ancient rhetorical argument and pinpoints various narrative trajectories - as associated with theme, plot, characterization, and topoi - that emerge from the rhetorical texture. In doing so, he shows that the four speeches function as "sign posts" that are integral to guiding the Lukan narrative from the "backwaters" of Galilee to the center of the Roman Empire.
