Addresses the ways in which Jewish people and religious customs are presented in the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Probing questions about the roots of modern anti-Semitism in relationship to the New Testament, Tyson concludes that there is a deep and complex ambivalence in Luke-Acts, making the texts both profoundly pro-Jewish and anti-Jewish.
