Editorial Review
By insisting upon a common theme and including material used elsewhere Leander Keck and
Louis Martyn violated basic rules for Festschriften. The result was no
dusty repository for a little gem or two but a book worthy of attention after
more than three decades. In their original foreword of this tribute to Paul Schubert
the editors expressed the " . . . hope that the volume should reflect the majou
contours of present research on the writings of Luke, and at the same time indicate some
directions for further labors." That hope has been fully satisfied. Studies
in Luke-Acts will give newcomers a succinct review of the positions from and against
which more recent scholarship has reacted, together with intimations of approaches now
flourishing. The theological analyses may be outmoded in view, but they reflect a
depth, power, and acumen deserving emulation.
