The character and purpose of Luke's christology

H. Douglas Buckwalter
This book explains why Luke said what he did about Jesus in his earthly ministry in his Gospel and about his work from heaven in Acts. Buckwalter shows a unity, a compatibility with Mark and Paul, and for Jesus a divine rank equal to God. Luke's christology is carefully designed: he portrays the exalted Jesus as God's co-equal.
