About the Book

Prayer plays a definitive role in the writings of Luke, for it is the means whereby God directs and empowers Israel, Jesus, and the Church to know and accomplish the divine will. Employing the sanctioning power of prayer texts, a method Luke encountered in his Hebrew and Greco-Roman prayer heritage, Luke-Acts uses its eleven explicit prayer texts to present the distinctively Lucan understanding of God's plan of salvation, the divine method for activating that plan, and the proper human response to God. Luke's full theology of prayer is offered through statements about prayer and those who pray, as well as explicit prayer texts. Confident in God's willingness to hear and answer prayer, Luke's entire understanding of prayer centers on the divine plan of salvation and the role the faithful have within that plan.

About the Author :
The Author: Steve Plymale is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies and the Campus Minister at Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa. Steve earned his M. Div. at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. After five years of parish experience, he returned to graduate school, completing his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in Biblical Studies in 1985. Steve has published several articles dealing with prayer and has presented numerous scholarly papers on prayer at regional and national SBL meetings.

Review :
«Steven Plymale provides the best analysis of prayer in Luke-Acts currently available, climaxing the interpretive tradition of the past 25 years. His four-part scheme for the Lucan perspective on salvation-history should evoke some discussion. This book is comprehensively researched and fairly presented, combining theological and exegetical analysis with a responsible presentation of Jewish and Greco-Roman background. It will be of particular interest to scholars interested in salvation-history and the theology of Luke-Acts as well as to anyone wanting to understand the function of prayer in the early church.» (Robert Jewett, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary).
