| Summary: | "Scholars have long recognized that prayer and Israel’s Scriptures play a pivotal role in the Christology of Luke. In this study, these two features converge in an underappreciated feature of Luke’s Gospel, namely the many laments uttered to Jesus and by Jesus. Lukan characters frequently cry out to Jesus in a way that echoes the prayers of lament directed to Yhwh in Israel’s Scriptures. As well, the Lukan Jesus utters his own laments, also echoing prayers of lament from Israel’s Scriptures. Crisler suggests that the interplay between the laments crafted by Luke and laments from Israel’s Scriptures produce highly suggestive Christological points of resonance. Luke consistently characterizes Jesus as both someone who represents God by answering laments as only Yhwh can and as a righteous lamenter who models, teaches, and participates in lament to Israel’s God. This double characterization is particularly visible in the crucifixion scene where the Lukan Jesus both answers and participates in lament. Crisler considers how these echoes of lament shape our understanding of Lukan Christology and make a contribution to ongoing debates about earliest Christology." --provided by publisher |
