McWhirter shows that Luke uses these biblical prophets as precedents, seeking to legitimate the apostles' teachings in the face of events, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the deaths of Peter and Paul, which seem to contradict those teachings. In order to show that all this was part of God's plan, Luke compares Jesus and his witnesses to Israel's prophets who were rejected by their own people.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jocelyn McWhirter</note> <subject> <topic>Apostles -- Biblical teaching</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.406</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J63-M48</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781451470024</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/22/1050.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/22/1050.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070429.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
