This study convincingly demonstrates how the covenant provides a basis for the relation between the divine and humans in the context of the history of God's salvation, linking history and theology. It makes a valuable contribution to the debate in Luke-Act studies. -Francois P. Viljoen, Professor in New Testament, Faculty of Theology, North-West University, RSA Did ancient writers in the biblical worlds organize their narratives to highlight a single, unifying theme? Is it realistic to look for an organizing principle in extended biblical narratives? What about a two-part document like Luke-Acts in the New Testament? If so, what might that theme or principle be? Kovacs explores these and related questions in extraordinary detail and with methodological sophistication. Even if you decide to nuance his final conclusions, you'll have learned an amazing amount about what others have done and about what's actually needed to address the issues adequately. -Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Denver Seminary
