This study proposes rigor in approaching the question of how the writer of Lukes Gospel handled the rural material. The author constructs an inventory of literary artifacts of rural contact found within the Gospel. Data from this inventory are then used to explore three issues: 1) the distribution of rural artifacts within the Gospel, 2) evidence of the writers attitude towards the relationship between city and countryside, and 3) evidence of the Gospels tendentiousness that is found in some differences from the other Synoptic parallels and how these tendencies might also be discerned in Lukes unique material. The study concludes that Lukes Gospel displays a matrix of containment of, engagement with, and distance from the rural material.
