Fr Nicholas King SJ gave a live stream lecture on the subject ‘Luke: A Very Jewish Gospel’ on Saturday 22nd January 2022 from the Jesuit Centre in Farm Street, London. It was sponsored by the Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain and the London Jesuit Centre.
www.whatgoodnews.org is delighted to offer a recording of Fr Nick’s talks. The focus was on the Jewishness of Luke in the infancy narrative as a ‘picture-gallery’ which sets the tone for our understanding of Luke-Acts. Our model for reading this text is Mary the mother of Jesus, of whom it is twice said, as we go round the picture-gallery, that ‘she was keeping these words together’ or ‘watching them’, ‘comparing them in her heart’ (Luke 2:19; 2:51).
