The book investigates Luke’s perspective on the salvation of Israel in light of Jewish restoration eschatology. It situates Luke-Acts in the aftermath of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. Contrary to common opinion, the author of Luke-Acts did not write the Jews off but still awaited the restoration of Israel. Luke, moreover, conceived of Israel’s eschatological restoration in traditional Jewish terms. The nation of Israel would experience liberation in the fullest sense, including national and political restoration. Salvation had been initiated but not completed with Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension. Luke still awaited for the climax of eschatological restoration—which would include glory for Israel—when Jesus would return triumphantly to Jerusalem. |
