Endorsements for my book The Way According to Luke:
… a volume to be numbered among the ‘musts’ of any serious Lukan library.”
--Review, Journal for the Study of the New Testament
***
“Dr. Borgman’s book begins with the premise that modern practices of reading the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts separately—and, even worse, reading isolated pericopes—instead of hearing the two volumes read aloud as a single work, mask the true genius and significance of Luke’s project. . . . Borgman has presented a readable and accessible study of Luke-Acts. It is that accessibility and the conciseness of his book that distinguishes it from those of Borgman’s many colleagues on whose work he draws, and whose various perspectives he draws together in a single volume. . . . Despite his focus on reading (or hearing) Luke’s two books as a single narrative, Borgman’s analysis of the various constituent units (down to individual pericopes) is clear and fresh. . . . Borgman discerns a chiastic structure of the journey narrative (Luke 9:51-19:44) that demonstrates the literary and thematic integrity of that important section of Luke’s Gospel. Even if it stood alone, that section of Borgman’s book would be worth the price of the whole.”

“Borgman’s book has proved a thoughtful, insightful, readable companion, a volume to be numbered among the ‘musts’ of any serious Lukan library. . . . [It] is certainly a stimulating, and often provocative, companion for maturer students.”

“We need more books like this, where something more substantial can be provided to the general reader in a responsible, well-thought-through, and passionate manner.”

“If for the ancient world Pindar characterizes the nature of oral performance — ‘aboard the Muses’ chariot I beg the eloquence that this occasion needs’ — then Paul Borgman has risen to the occasion. With his ‘echoing sequences,’ ‘spiraling repetitions,’ and ‘hinge points’ for Luke’s two volume performance, Borgman has given us ‘winged words’ to imprint Luke’s own literary genius indelibly into our memories. If narrative performance be judged today by the brilliance of its aural impact, then Borgman has generated a delightfully persuasive movement of Luke’s own ‘way’ of pronouncing the Word of God and moving his audiences to new ways of viewing the story of salvation through Israel’s Messiah. This is a command performance for professional and lay reader alike.”

“In this exploration of Luke’s literary art, Paul Borgman displays his significant gifts as sensitive reader and trusted guide. Although fully engaged with contemporary study of Luke-Acts, he is no slave to ‘the experts’ as he demonstrates again and again how Luke’s narrative works to shape our grasp of Luke’s literary and theological agenda. Biblical studies is the richer on account of this sort of interdisciplinary work.”
