Book Description:

In this and every age, the church desperately needs prophecy. It needs the bold proclamation of Gods transforming vision to challenge its very human tendency toward expediency and self-interest to jolt it into new insight and energy. For Luke Timothy Johnson, the New Testament books Luke and Acts provide that much-needed jolt to conventional norms.
