The Death of Jesus in Luke-Acts

"Tyson's Death of Jesus in Luke-Acts is worth reading because it offers an opportunity to see a different hermeneutical approach applied to the text. . . . If a pastor is interested in a scholarly and challenging book on a Lukan theme, and yet a book that is highly accessible . . . The Death of Jesus in Luke-Acts comes highly recommended."—Concordia Theological Quarterly

"The emphasis on treating Luke-Acts holistically, especially when interpreting the Passion Narrative, is sound, and Tyson is consistent with this principle. His work as a whole is a valuable contribution to the literature on Luke's passion. The good sense that allows him to blend literary and historical interest is especially appreciated."—Catholic Biblical Quarterly

"In this engaging and lucid book, Tyson examines the treatment of Jesus's death in Luke-Acts. What sets Tyson's work apart from earlier studies of this subject is his use of a literary-critical method. . . . Tyson's work is essential for Lukan scholars. Happily, it also converses with Luke in a way that will be instructive for all who are concerned with the Gospels and their stories."—Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
