Recensione

"An excellent model of one way literary and rhetorical criticisms can be combined in exegetical work." Religious Studies Review

"Braun is adept in the various analytical methodologies, both traditional and modern. Social-scientific insights are a comparatively recent addition to the exegetical toolbox for early Christian texts, and Braun uses them deftly. He draws upon a solid store of European and English-language secondary scholarship. His analysis is persuasive, detailed and substantial, but not ponderous. The fact that his prose is vigorous and at times leavened with humor is a bonus in a field that often lacks such stylistic features. This book is highly recommended, particularly for New Testament scholars and researchers into the social history and rhetoric of early Christianity." Novum Testmentum XXXVIII

"Braun's book is a welcome addition to interdisciplinary studies of Luke and it provides a provocative illustration of how productive our dialogue can be with first century literary, rhetorical, social and cultural contexts." David B. Gowler, Toronto Journal of Theology

"...good theological libraries and students of Luke-Acts will want to have Braun's book available." Robert F. O'Toole, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly

"Braun's original arguments and well-reasoned style make for stimulating, and at times exciting, reading." Studies in Religion
