Possessions and Family in the Writings of Luke
Recent decades have seen substantial questioning of the unity of the books of Luke and Acts. With this volume, Stefan Nordgaard takes a close look at that question, with a specific eye toward Luke's attitude toward possessions and family. He clearly maps out an ethics that is not set in stone, but changes over time, from a chiefly ascetic position in the gospel to a somewhat bourgeois position in Acts. Nordgaard goes on to offer a historical explanation for the change, built around the identity and activities of the person to whom Luke dedicated the books, "the most excellent Theophilus." The result is a book that will push Lucan scholarship in a new direction and alter our understanding of the New Testament's teachings.

Luke for You dynamically shows that their stories are our stories and that we are tied together with the eternal thread of human experience. Come challenge yourself to think through the minds of the proud, the powerful, the wealthy, the suffering, the dispossessed, the social outcasts and the hurting. You will find at the crux of it all Jesus - the God-man who continually transforms each generation. Luke for You will help you see the Gospel of Luke in a fresh new light, sure to illuminate how Jesus is as relevant today as He was two-thousand years ago.
Conversion in Luke-Acts
Repentance and conversion are key topics in New Testament interpretation and in Christian life. However, the study of conversion in early Christianity has been plagued by psychological assumptions alien to the world of the New Testament. Leading New Testament scholar Joel Green believes that careful attention to the narrative of Luke-Acts calls for significant rethinking about the nature of Christian conversion. Drawing on the cognitive sciences and examining key evidence in Luke-Acts, this book emphasizes the embodied nature of human life as it explores the life transformation signaled by the message of conversion, offering a new reading of a key aspect of New Testament theology.

None But the Sinners
The controversy between Jesus and his contemporary religionists about 'sinners' is of central concern to the gospel story. This book brings a fresh analysis of Luke's presentation of Jesus' relationship to the 'sinners' and the Pharisees, as well as investigating the role this complex of relations plays in his telling of the gospel drama. Was the seeking of the lost a new or revolutionary aspect of ministry introduced by Jesus? Could Jesus' relationship to 'sinners' have been so dramatic and offensive as actually to distinguish him from the mainstream of religion in his day? These questions are raised in the context of the Lukan historical milieu of the first century
Conversion in Luke and Paul: An Exegetical and Theological Exploration
This study explores the conversion theologies of Luke and Paul. For Luke and Paul conversion played an important role in the early Christian experience and Morlan offers a fresh look into how they interpreted this phenomenon. Morlan traverses representative texts in the Lukan and Pauline corpus equipped with three theological questions. What is the change involved in this conversion? Why is conversion necessary? Who is responsible for conversion? Morlan presents theological and exegetical analysis of Luke 15, Acts 2, Acts 17.16-34, Romans 2 and Romans 9-11 and answers these questions, and, in turn, builds theological profiles for both Luke and Paul. These profiles provide fresh insight into the theological relationship between Luke and Paul, showing significant similarities as well as sharp contrasts between them. Similarities surface between Luke and Paul concerning the centrality of Christology in their conversion theologies. While showing a complex relationship between human and divine agency in conversion, both Luke and Paul understand successful conversion to be impossible without the intervention of an agency outside of the pre-convert.

Living with Animals
Living with Animals brings a pragmatist ecofeminist perspective to discussions around animal rights, animal welfare, and animal ethics to move the conversation beyond simple use or non-use decisions. Erin McKenna uses a case study approach with select species to question how humans should live and interact with various animal beings through specific instances of such relationships. Addressing standard topics such as the use of animals for food, use for biomedical research, use in entertainment, use as companions, use as captive specimens in zoos, and use in hunting and ecotourism through a revolutionary pluralist and experimental approach, McKenna provides an uncommonly nuanced accounts for complex relationships and changing circumstances. Rather than seek absolute moral stands regarding human relationships with other animal beings, and rather than trying to end such relationships altogether, the books urges us to make existing relations better.
