About this listen

Rev. Fitzmyer demonstrates that how Luke was interested in prayer, worship, and the power of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of the individual and the formation of the Church. Fr. Fitzmyer defends the traditional identity of Luke and his relationship with Paul. The situation of the believing community today in the 21st century is just as complex as in the first century.

Joseph Fitzmyer was one of the greats of modern New Testament study, known particularly for his work on Luke-Acts. He contributed several volumes to the excellent Anchor-Yale Bible commentary.
