nascent Church, Luke’s universal perspective, Jewish ritual purity and sharing a common tableAbstract
Luke is a good narrative artist, and following the style of ancient historiographers, he writes a narrative account in terms of coherency, truthfulness, and usefulness concerning a moral and apologetic education. In a nutshell, his narrative is didactically constructed as Luke manages to confront delicate themes such as the universal dimension of the Church and acceptance of the Gentiles in sharing a common altar and table, inserting the motives with dietary distinctions at the important turning points of the narrative (Lk 15; Acts 10 and Acts 15). He tries to convince and teach his reader of God’s plan of salvation in which all humanity is called to accept the message of life in a restored people of God through Jesus Christ.References
