Books

  • Only one book is required for this LTPR 102 course on Luke, this Winter 2011:
    1. Joel B. Green. The Gospel of Luke (Grand Rapids, Mich.: W. B. Eerdmans, 1997), in the series: The New International Commentary on the New Testament (hardcover).
  • Since Green’s commentary includes the translation of Luke, there is no requirement to have a Bible. The following books are just recommended:
    1. The Bible, in the New Revised Standard Version (=NRSV). I recommend The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha: New Revised Standard Version, College Edition (Hardcover), which costs ca. $25.00.
    2. Raymond Brown, An Introduction to the New Testament (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library) (Hardcover), which costs $38.00 or so new, but can also be found used.
  • I will supply a bibliography divided into standard commentaries and more specialized literature. Each student will use at least one of those commentaries (borrowed from libraries or on reserve) and be in charge of summarizing and presenting that particular point of view in class.
