BBCL 522 - The Social Teachings of the Gospel of Luke

1.5 credits
What does the Gospel of Luke have to say about poverty? About wealth? About how to live out the Christian calling under empire? Luke has highly distinctive things to say on these topics and more. This is the only gospel whose Jesus says “Blessed are you who are poor,” or “Woe to you who are rich,” or “None of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.” How do these such teachings relate to Luke’s stance on empire? How should men and women relate to one another within Luke’s anti-imperial community? Does Luke merit its traditional title “The Gospel of Women” as much as its other traditional title “The Gospel of the Poor”? These are the main issues and questions explored in this course.
