Das Lukasevangelium (Handbuch Zum Neuen Testament) (German Edition)

English summary: In this commentary, Michael Wolter places Luke's story of Jesus in its cultural context and elaborates on its relationship to the early Jewish and the Graeco-Roman environment. He also focuses on the form-critical and narratological analysis of the individual narratives and in addition on the theological profile of Luke's gospel. Luke narrates the story of Jesus as an integral part of the history of Israel, and he shows that God himself is represented by Jesus authentically. The readers for whom this is intended are not a single community but all Christians of his own time and possibly also of future generations. German description: Michael Wolter legt einen ausfuhrlichen Kommentar zum dritten Evangelium vor, der in der Tradition des 'Handbuchs zum Neuen Testament' steht. Er stellt die Jesusgeschichte des Lukas in ihren kulturellen Kontext und arbeitet ihre Beziehung zur judischen und griechisch-romischen Umwelt heraus. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der formgeschichtlichen und narrativen Analyse der einzelnen Erzahlungen. Uber die rein philologische und traditionsgeschichtliche Untersuchung hinaus legt der Autor auch Wert darauf, das theologische Profil des Lukasevangeliums sichtbar zu machen. Demnach erzahlt Lukas die Geschichte Jesu als ersten Teil eines Geschichtswerks (zu ihm gehort auch noch die Apostelgeschichte), das eine Epoche aus der Geschichte Israels darstellen will. In immer wieder neuen Anlaufen macht er deutlich, dass Gott selbst es ist, der im Wirken Jesu an Israel zum Heil handelt und der durch Jesus in authentischer Weise reprasentiert wird. Gegen eine in der deutschen Lukasforschung lange vorherrschende Sichtweise zeigt die Kommentierung, dass es Lukas gelingt, die Geschichte Jesu vor einem Absinken in die 'Historie' zu bewahren und im Glauben der Christen lebendig zu halten. Als Leser hat Lukas nicht eine bestimmte Gemeinde, sondern alle Christen seiner eigenen Zeit und moglicherweise auch die Christen zukunftiger Generationen im Blick. Lukas will ihnen erklaren, wie es dazu kam, dass die Erfullung der alttestamentlichen Verheissungen Gottes fur Israel in einen Trennungsprozess mundete, der eine Teilung Israels in die christliche Kirche einerseits und das Judentum andererseits zur Folge hatte.

In this fifth volume of the Baylor–Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, Michael Wolter provides a detailed, verse-by-verse interpretation of the Third Evangelist’s Gospel (Luke 9:51–24). Wolter’s commentary fully complements the great tradition of "Handbooks of the New Testament" published by Mohr Siebeck. Replacing the third edition of Erich Klostermann’s commentary on Luke, Wolter’s volume rightly joins those by Conzelmann (Acts), Käsemann (Romans), and Lietzmann (1 Corinthians) in this venerable series.

Wolter’s approach to a sustained reading of Luke’s Gospel is comprehensive. He carefully places Luke’s narrative of Jesus in its cultural context, paying close attention to the relationship of the Gospel with its Jewish and Greco-Roman environment. Wolter performs form-critical and narrative analysis of the specific stories; however, Wolter also emphasizes Luke as a theologian and his Gospel as a work of theology.

Centrally, Wolter recognizes how Luke’s narrative of Jesus forms the first part of a unified work—the Acts of Apostles being the second—that represents a new moment in Israel’s history. But in surprising new ways, Wolter makes clear that it is God alone who works in and through the words and deeds of Jesus to bring salvation to Israel. His commentary shows that Luke succeeds in preserving the history of Jesus and its theological impact and that this history stands on equal footing with the history of early Christianity. Wolter’s thorough, careful reading follows Luke as the Evangelist seeks to explain how the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises of God for Israel results in a parting of the ways between the Christian church on the one side and Judaism on the other. Scholars and students alike will benefit from access to new German scholarship now available to English-language audiences.
