Engaging the prevailing scholarly claim of inconsistency in Luke's approach to the Mosaic Law, Jason Wendel develops a comprehensive interpretation that reveals Luke's coherent view of Torah. He argues that Luke, in continuity with the Jewish writings of the late Second Temple period, conceives of the Law as both regulative command and prophetic revelation - functions that remain operative in the age of the Church. This understanding is rooted in Israel's prophetic tradition, where mercy, justice, and righteousness define genuine observance. The author demonstrates that Luke's portrayal of Jesus and his followers consistently identifies them as those who comprehend and obey the law rightly, while their adversaries - who accuse them of transgression - emerge as true violators through their deeds. Through close narrative analysis, he situates this rhetorical pattern within Luke's theological and social horizon, suggesting that adherence to the Law forms a crucial marker of early Christian identity. Jason Wendel thus opens up new perspectives on the relationship between law, prophecy, and Christian identity in Luke's double work.
