From the Manger to the Throne (eBook) by , and

An introduction to the dominant biblical-theological themes of the Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is a wonderfully detailed account of the ministry and miracles of Jesus Christ. What many readers don't realize is that Luke, who was likely a Gentile, wrote his Gospel with a thorough knowledge of the Old Testament—pointing to Jesus's life, ministry, and death as the culmination of Old Testament expectations and prophecy.

In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, Benjamin L. Gladd explains the dominant biblical-theological themes in the Gospel of Luke, including the defeat of evil, peace in heaven and earth, the incorporation of the nations, and the kingdom of God. This resource is perfect for those looking to dig deeper into studying the interconnectedness of Scripture.

Dense (and fantastic) survey of Luke's Gospel

This is a fantastic volume on Luke. Even if you own Gladd’s Handbook on the Gospels, this is an awesome book to own as well because of Gladd’s thematic approach. In HotG, Gladd surveys Luke passage-by-passage while pointing us to how Jesus fulfills OT types and shadows. Here Gladd ties together Luke’s Gospel through his seven themes. I think it is great that Gladd focused on Luke (and Schreiner on Acts), instead of keeping them together. While it would be great to see a similar-styled NTT book done on Luke and Acts together (one shorter than Bock’s BTNT), it is good to have such a handy little book on Luke. This is another great volume.
