This book examines Luke’s portrait of the Gentiles’ state prior to their coming to Christian faith. Following the history of research, it commences with Luke’s direct references to the Gentiles prior to faith and then draws conclusions concerning their state from the Gentile encounter with Jesus and Christian salvation. This includes Luke’s notes on the condition of Gentiles and on their appropriation of salvation. Finally conclusions from Luke’s portrayal of Gentile Christians are drawn.
