A theological and historical study of the Gentiles and the Gentile missions in Luke and Acts. Dr Wilson examines Jesus'' attitude to Gentiles and concludes that not only did he fail to anticipate a historical Gentile mission, but that his eschatological expectations logically disallowed it.

Dr Wilson goes on to consider the historical reliability of Acts and finds that most earlier assessments have been marred by oversimplification; Luke, he concludes, does intend to write good history but for a variety of reasons is not always successful.

It will be of interest to all theologians and New Testament scholars. Less
