This thesis has been written in two parts. The first examines the validity of three hypotheses that have been offered as explanations for the structure of Luke-Acts, in whole or in part. These are the Christian Deuteronomy theory, lectionary. In the second part of the thesis a more positive approach is taken towards understanding the structure of Luke-Acts by examining the possible contributions that might result from studies in Source, Redaction, and Composition Criticism.

This dissertation argues that Luke has a conscious and detectable theology of justification which can be seen explicitly in Luke 18:9-14 but subtly permeates the narrative. After a brief history of research, the dissertation includes two exegetical chapters dealing with Luke 18:9-14 and its immediate context. Next, the theme of justification is traced throughout Luke in connection with two other significant Lukan themes - the Kingdom of God and eschatological reversal. A brief conclusion brings the strands of argument together. Paul's sermon at Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13), significant because of the appearance of justification, is thoroughly exegeted in an appendix.

New Testament writings were mostly adressed to the church for education, spiritual formation and liturgical purposes. Concerning Lukan work, there are several different theories about its possible intended readers out of church. These theories could be divided into three groups: 1. Theories about Lukas writing literature which was to be published and distributed in the common book market, 2. theories about possible political intentions of Luke's work and 3. theories about Gentiles who believed in one God and sypathised with Judaism. The work focuses on the whole Lukan cycle - both Gospel according to Luke and Acts. It attempts to find the answer to the question if Luke wrote also for non-Christian audience. It deals with particular Introduction topics (author, date of composition, unity and purpose) and soteriology of the two books. It uses with synoptic comparison and contains exegesae of chosen biblical texts.

Thesis advisor: Andrew Davis / Thesis advisor: Matthew Monnig / Jesus's manifesto in Luke 4:16-21 is an allusion to Isaiah 61:1-2 and 58:6 and portrays Luke's concern for the poor. A socio-scientific reading of this manifesto shows Jesus as an eschatological prophetic Messiah who assumes both prophetic role and royal functions of a king to liberate and restore honor to the oppressed and marginalized people of his time. The research challenges political leaders of Nigeria to look into the cries of ethnic minority groups and Nigerian Christians to become proactive in seeking concrete ways to alleviate this social problem. It also calls for Nigerians to intensify socio-political activism in defense of equity, equality, and justice for minority ethnic groups in Nigeria. / Thesis (STL) — Boston College, 2023. / Submitted to: Boston College.
