More about the book

The Pharisaic dinner episode in Luke 14 serves as a rhetorical unit where Jesus addresses the wealthy urban elite, advocating for a transformation of character and values essential for inclusion in a Christian society. Willi Braun's study employs social and literary evidence from Greco-Roman banquet scenes and rhetorical techniques to highlight how the Gospel of Luke, crafted by a Hellenistic writer, utilizes familiar narrative styles to convey its ideological messages and shape early Christian communities.
