Luke as Tradent and Hermeneut: “As one who has a thoroughly informed familiarity with all the events from the top” (parēkoluthēkóti ánōthen pa͂sin akribō͂s, Luke 1:3)
Luke as Tradent and Hermeneut “As one who has a thoroughly informed familiarity with all the events from the top” (παρηκολουθηκότι ἄνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς, Luke 1:3)
Far from indicating that “Luke” had to investigate all the traditions before he could write them up as an historian, παρηκολουθηκότι in Luke 1:3 means almost the opposite.

| Summary: | Far from indicating that “Luke” had to investigate all the traditions before he could write them up as an historian, παρηκολουθηκότι in Luke 1:3 means almost the opposite.

Τhe perfect participle placards one trained in a tradition and not the judicious labors of an historian’s research. |
