Sacra Pagina: The Gospel of Luke

Sacra Pagina seriesNext:Sacra Pagina: The Acts of the Apostles(1992) →

Presented by an internat'l team of Catholic biblical scholars, Sacra Pagina is a series of translations & expositions of the New Testament books. The volumes provide basic information as well as sound, critical analysis in a highly readable manner—yet remain sensitive to religious meaning. Each author has adopted a specific methodology while focusing on the issues raised by the compositions themselves. The expression "Sacra Pagina" refers to the text of Scripture. In the Middle Ages it also described the study of Scripture to which the interpreter brought the tools of grammar, rhetoric, dialectic & philosophy. Thus, Sacra Pagina encompasses both the text & the act of interpretation. The "very soul of sacred theology" (Dei Verbum 24) is how the 2nd Vatican Council described the study of the sacred page. These volumes open up the riches of the New Testament & invite all to study seriously the "sacred page".

What makes this commentary on Luke stand apart from others is that this is a literary analysis. Because it focuses solely on the Gospel as it appears & not on its source or origin, this commentary explores just what Luke is saying & how he says it.
