Exploring Acts 16, Eric D. Barreto examines the dynamic roles of race and ethnicity in Luke's writings, challenging traditional interpretations that treat these identities as fixed. He argues that Luke presents a fluid ethnic landscape, highlighting the interplay between various groups such as Jews, Romans, and Greeks. Rather than creating a new Christian ethnicity, Luke emphasizes the importance of ethnic diversity, using it to showcase the expansive nature of the early church movement and its theological implications.
