"Solidly grounded in scholarship, this new introduction lifts the horizon beyond the familiar debates and invites us into a refreshed vision of Luke's multifaceted message(s) for the church, both then and now. You thought you knew Luke's Gospel? Think again! Highly commended for students, teachers, and preachers both within and without the academy."
-- Loveday Alexander

"Joel Green has crafted a remarkable invitation into the worlds of the Gospel according to Luke. Green's career-long engagement with the literary character, theology, and ethical vision of Scripture is in evidence throughout this volume. It is a brilliant addition to this series, and it admirably fulfills its goals."
-- David A. deSilva
Ashland Theological Seminary

"Green brings to bear his distinctive combination of theological awareness, literary sensitivity, and historical expertise on the interpretation of Luke's Gospel. He treats the interpretative traditions of the church with love and respect but recognizes that 'the grain of the text' may sometimes run contrary to these and deserves to be traced carefully. The result is a study that is rich and often surprising but always readable."
-- Grant Macaskill
University of Aberdeen

Review of Biblical Literature
"Discovering Luke will prove a valuable resource for scholars seeking orientation to Lukan scholarship or fresh insight into familiar passages, as well as for teachers looking for a narrative-theological introduction to Luke's Gospel--or, perhaps, to New Testament interpretation more generally. Without sacrificing readability, this book moves from analyzing past and present modes of interpretation to explaining and modeling Green's own, all the while demonstrating a depth of narrative and theological perceptivity that prompts renewed reflection on Luke's Gospel."

The Living Church
"Discovering Luke excels in what it chooses to do, clearing its own path and supplementing and complementing more-worn alternatives, sending the reader back once again to the Gospel."
