The return of the prodigal son<br /> *oil on canvas<br /> *120 x 95 cm<br /> *signed b.l.: JSteen<br /> *1668 - 1669In this second part of our conversation (part 1 here) Dr. Levine and Dr. Witherington and I discuss the parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee, what’s distinctive about Luke’s gospel, the role of women in this book, the parable of the prodigal son, how Jesus differs from the rabbis, how the authors’ different backgrounds condition their reading of Luke, whether or not Luke thinks that Joseph is the biological Father of Jesus, the view that Luke was a Gentile, and whether or not this gospel asserts or assumes the deity of Christ.

Thanks to Dr. Witherington and to Dr. Levine for some great conversation, and for their long and fruitful work on this project!

  1. Since “The Problem with Evangelical Theology”, I have appreciated Dr. Witherington’s challenging thinking. Dr Levine as well, with her insights at many SBL forums. Thanks for bring these two together and the great discussion of Luke!
