Course Description

The Theology of Luke and Acts course, taught by Darrell Bock, thoroughly explores the theology of Luke’s gospel and the book of Acts. In his writing, Luke records the story of God working through Jesus to usher in a new era of promise and Spirit-enablement so that the people of God can be God’s people even in the midst of a hostile world. It is a message the church still needs today.

This course covers major Lukan themes and sets forth the distinctive contribution of Luke-Acts to the New Testament and the canon of Scripture, providing students of the Bible with an in-depth and holistic grasp of Lukan theology in the larger context of the Bible. Both formal students and independent learners will benefit from this indispensable study of the Lukan books of the New Testament.

By completing this course, you’ll gain

  • familiarity with the overarching theology of Luke’s two biblical books, Luke and Acts
  • insight into the meaning of Luke and Acts for the church today
  • a greater grasp of how the message of Luke and Acts fits into the rest of the New Testament and all of Scripture
