AB Luke, the eponymous author of the gospel that bears his name as well as the book of Acts, wrote the largest portion of the New Testament. Luke is generally thought to be a gentile. This book addresses a question raised by Jesus's disciples at the very beginning of Acts: 'Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?' The question is freighted with political and national significance as it inquires about the restoration of political sovereignty to the Jewish people. Oliver investigates Luke's perspective on the salvation of Israel in light of Jewish restoration eschatology. He situates Luke-Acts in the aftermath of the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
