Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church: The Challenge of Luke-Acts to Contemporary Christians
Luke Timothy Johnson
In this and every age, the church desperately needs prophecy. It needs the bold proclamation of God?s transforming vision to challenge its very human tendency toward expediency and self-interest ? to jolt it into new insight and energy. For Luke Timothy Johnson, the New Testament books Luke and Acts provide that much-needed jolt to conventional norms. To read Luke-Acts as a literary unit, he says, is to uncover a startling prophetic vision of Jesus and the church ? and an ongoing call for today?s church to embody and proclaim God?s vision for the world.
