Luke And The Politics Of Homeric Imitation : Luke-Acts As Rival To The Aeneid

In this book MacDonald guides his reader through Luke-Acts from beginning to end to identify and interpret the author's imitations of classical Greek poetry, arguing that Luke's two-volume work was a prose epic to provide his readers with a foundation myth for the new social reality that the Christian Church had become.
