Week 6- Reading the Stories from the New Testament
Day 3- How Stories are Arranged for Emphasis
(continued)
Matthew 4:1-11
Luke 4:1-13
The these two recountings of Jesus' temptation in the desert, the author of our study book states that Luke may have chosen the "cast yourself off the temple" temptation last in order to emphasize the key themes of his book. However, I think the author is straining the soup a bit too thin. This particular part of this particular lesson feels to me to be an attempt to justify the author's feelings of a certain passage rather than a legitimate Biblical study technique.
