Yuzuru Miura undertakes a scholarly analysis of all references to David in Luke-Acts, which has not been done so far. In order to do so, the Davidic typological character in Davidic messianism has to be considered. The author seeks to grasp the first-century Jewish perceptions of the picture of David, such as David in the LXX, the OT Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Qumran Manuscripts, the writings of Philo and Josephus, and early rabbinic thought. Then, in the second part, he analyzes all references to David in Luke-Acts in light of the first-century Jewish perceptions of David. Such a perspective throws fresh light not only on the understanding of Luke's concept of Jesus as the Davidic Messiah, but also on various Lukan theological issues.weiterlesen
