Narrative Theologizing in the Gospels: Luke and Hospitality

It often seems easier and more obvious to go to New Testament letters for theology than to the Gospels. Yet the Gospel writers are themselves “theologizing” in light of the arrival of the Messiah, and they offer rich theological stories for interpretation and preaching. A captivating theme in Luke’s Gospel expressed narratively is hospitality. In this lecture, Jeannine Brown will explore that theme and how Luke theologizes toward it.
