Luke as <\/em>a Historian<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luke\u2019s contributions to the New Testament, the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, comprise almost one quarter of the entire text of the Bible. If we can be sure that Luke is a conscientious and trustworthy historian, we can be confident in his depiction of Jesus as well. This is the basis of the idea of Luke as a historian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consensus among contemporary scholars is that Luke, historian and theologian. is indeed a careful, reliable recorder of history<\/strong>. In fact, over the years, scholars have asserted that Luke was mistaken about certain historical facts only to be proven wrong by archaeological findings. For example, many scholars saw Luke\u2019s reference to Lysanias as the tetrarch (governor) of Abilene in 27 AD as a disqualifying error\u2014Lysanias ruled Chalcis 50 years before; he was no tetrarch. An inscription found on a dig, however, later proved Luke right. One study from the early \u201990s reviewed each of Luke\u2019s references to physical places and found not a single mistake<\/strong>. It stands to reason that if Luke was assiduous enough to get the ancillary details correct, it\u2019s likely he got the really big stuff\u2014like Jesus\u2019s resurrection\u2014right as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Attestation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Under this criterion, a saying of Jesus can only be considered authentic if it\u2019s found in more than one source. This again is the important of Luke as a historian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One problem with this rubric is that many of our most trusted sources of ancient history<\/a> are singular\u2014that is, for many events of antiquity that we assume actually happened, <\/strong>we only have a single source. In other words, the Jesus Seminar<\/a> holds the events of the bible to a stricter standard than other ancient events<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another problem is that, according to the Jesus Seminar\u2019s precepts, the mention of a saying in more than one gospel doesn\u2019t count as multiple attestation<\/em>. For this rule, they\u2019re relying on the argument that Matthew and Luke, historian and theologian, are based on Mark, thus any saying that\u2019s mentioned in all three really amounts to just one <\/em>mention. What this position fails to take into account is recent scholarship that disputes Matthew\u2019s and Luke\u2019s reliance on Mark<\/strong> (see the discussion of \u201cQ\u201d in Chapter 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Discrepancies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, there are some differences among the gospels, including the gospel according to Luke regarding Jesus\u2019s empty tomb\u2014differences which skeptics have latched onto to call the entire Resurrection into question<\/strong>. Luke as a historian is one of these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in Matthew, Mary and Mary Magdalene<\/a> arrive at the tomb at dawn and an angel opens the tomb for them; in Mark, the women arrive at sunrise and the tomb is already open; and in Luke, the women arrive at dawn to find the tomb already open. There also discrepancies regarding who arrives at the tomb (Is it just Mary and Mary Magdalene, or are Salome and Joanna there, too?) and who\u2019s in <\/em>the tomb when they arrive (in Mark, a \u201cyouth\u201d is inside; in Luke, it\u2019s \u201ctwo men\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one focuses on these minor details<\/a>, however, one risks losing the forest for the trees. In other words, the gospels are remarkably consistent with regard to the major events of the Resurrection: <\/strong>Joseph of Arimathea\u2019s handling of Jesus\u2019s body and its entombment; the arrival of some group of women at the tomb Sunday morning; the tomb\u2019s emptiness; and the vision of angels reporting that Jesus has risen. The core of the story is consistent across the gospels<\/strong>, and so it\u2019s better scholarly practice to trust those consistencies rather than dismiss them. In fact, if the gospels aligned perfectly in all their details, they would (counterintuitively) be less <\/em>trustworthy: One would suspect that the gospel writers, including in the gospel according to Luke, had colluded to get their story straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immateriality of the discrepancies notwithstanding, there are <\/em>in fact ways to harmonize the gospels\u2019 accounts. For example, all the writers mention that Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb with other women; some writers simply chose to mention some of the women by name whereas others didn\u2019t. In general, you can draw the conclusion that Luke, historian and theologian records events accurately, The gospel of Luke is often considered reliable by scholars. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
