This book explains why Luke said what he did about Jesus in his earthly ministry in his Gospel and about his work from heaven in Acts. Buckwalter shows a unity, a compatibility with Mark and Paul, and for Jesus a divine rank equal to God. Luke's christology is carefully designed: he portrays the exalted Jesus as God's co-equal.
