Kritik
One of the main themes in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles is that life is a series of trials, and that God Himself is the tester-in-chief. Gulaker brings this theme to the fore as never before, and shows us the true meaning of "lead us not into temptation." Henry Ansgar Kelly Distinguished Research Professor English Department, University of California, Los Angeles In this careful study of Luke-Acts, Cato Gulaker argues that the figure of Satan should be interpreted as an agent of divine testing within a monistic worldview. Rather than an independent cosmic enemy of God and the church, Satan operates with divine authority to test, validate or disqualify the discipleship of members of the Christian community. Gulaker's highly stimulating work continues to cast new light on the shadowy figure of Satan in the New Testament. Paul Middleton Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, The University of Chester.mehr
