The speech-making, turn-taking, and rule-breaking in Luke-Acts and ancient Greek narrative Smith, Daniel Lynwood creator author. text bibliography Criticism, interpretation, etc. gw 2012 2012 monographic eng 1 online resource (xiii, 337 pages). In the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, speakers are often interrupted by emotional audiences (Luke 4:28; Acts 4:1; 7:54-57; 13:48; etc.). A comparative study of other Greek authors, from Homer to Josephus, reveals the high frequency and unique form of interruption in Luke's two volumes. Intentional interruption functions rhetorically to underscore the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the availability of salvation to the Gentiles, thus illuminating both Lukan theology and literary technique.
