This book aims to help readers overhear such voices and uncover new levels of meaning in these essential texts. Brawley presents Luke-Acts as a sustained interplay of the story of Jesus and the early church with texts of Hebrew scripture, showing how explicit allusions evoke implicit voices. He employs some theories of intertextuality - notably those of Harold Bloom and Richard Hays - to demonstrate that a theocentric viewpoint controls Lucan dialogues with scripture."--BOOK JACKET A study of the intertextual play between Luke-Acts and Hebrew scripture.
