By ‘arranging’ a new narrative sequence different from a number of predecessors, Luke imparts a new cognitive and affective understanding of these happenings. | 315 1. Patterns of Recurrence from Authoritative Written and Oral Traditions | 317 2. Patterns of Recurrence of ‘First Person’ Participation within the Described Events | 328 3. Patterns of Recurrence Attributed to an Overarching Divine Will, Fate, or Necessity | 330 II. Luke is a Manager (οἰκονόμος) of the Narrative ‘Economy’ (οἰκονομία). As rhetorical elaborator, Luke turns to various tropes of conventional poetics to effect the understanding of the events that he wishes his audience to attain. | 332 1. Luke’s ‘beginning’ (ἡ ἀρχή) for his two-volume work forecasts the plot and sets the tone for the whole: Israel’s “Christ” of the scriptures “must suffer and rise up” and Jesus of Nazareth is that “Christ.” | 334 Table of Contents   IX 2. The metaleptic collapse within Luke’s secondary prooimion pulls Paul into the ‘continuity of the narrative’ as central to the two-volume narrative ‘arrangement’ so that Paul emerges as chief “witness” of the Christ’s “anointed” sending to Israel and the nations–“to the end of the earth.” | 336 Finale: Luke the Historian, Biblical Theologian of Israel’s “Christ” | 339 Bibliography | 340 Index | 358 Abbreviations AB Anchor Bible ACCS Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture AGAJU Arbeiten zur Geschichte des antiken Judentums und des Urchristentums AJP American Journal of Philology AnBib Analecta Biblica ANQ Andover Newton Quarterly ATANT Abhandlungen zur Theologie des Alten und Neuen Testaments BDAG Bauer Greek lexicon BDF Blass, Friedrich, Albert Debrunner, and Robert W.
