Not only does Luke’s author borrow material from prior gospels, modifying the stories to craft his own narrative, he also creates new scenes and parables out of whole cloth. Perhaps none are more famous than the character of Lazarus, the follower of ... more

The analysis and imaginative connections between elements of the Old Testament continue to amaze me. And I’m still working through back episodes, which make up a rich library.
More fire to your breath.
