Robert F. O’Toole

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The literary genre of Luke-Acts has recently created considerable interest. The Lukan Jesus is surely portrayed as a prophet. This article lists and evaluates the parallels between Jesus and Moses. Jesus is more clearly established as lawgiver and leader on the way to resurrection, and the relationship between "Moses" ("Law") and these parallels is explained. Finally, a summary of the implications of the parallels and their import for Luke's christology is provided.
