"Luke
and the Wicked Tenants," Richard H. Anderson, at The Gospel of
Luke webpage.
- "For Luke, Jesus' mission of preaching the good news of the kingdom does not imply that Israel is supplanted. Consistently the activity of preaching, healing and of calling disciples is set within the context of the Temple and synagogue. The Lucan Jesus accepts the form and fact of these institutions including the animal sacrificial system and Temple worship."
