St. Luke's Missiology:: A Cross-Cultural Challenge

by Harold Dollar

Overview

This book touches on the fundamental contributions of Luke's two-volume work revealing how a small Jewish sect became a worldwide movement in one generation. It recognizes the essential unity of Luke-Acts by showing how Luke prepares for the book of Acts. Luke's story of how the gospel moves from the particular to the universal gives insights on the missiological dynamics of early Christianity and provides models for the church and missions today.
