Abstract
This article, as a follow up to ‘Theophilus: A Proposal’, explains the significance of Luke's having no theology of the cross (or why he has de-emphasised it) and the meaning of the cross for Luke. In addition the article traces the development of a limited atonement doctrine in Judaism to an unlimited doctrine in the Epistle to the Hebrews and explains why it was necessary to make Jesus the High Priest. Finally, this article explains how Luke cautiously drafted his masterpiece with the beliefs and sensitivities of the High Priest in mind. Each of the issues addressed covers matters not previously discussed in the literature.
