In Luke, Judaism, and the Scholars, Joseph B. Tyson surveys the history of critical scholarship on the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles over the past two centuries and draws particular attention to the interpretation of Luke's treatment of Jews and Judaism. Noting that the Holocaust was a major turning point in the history of New Testament scholarship, Tyson demonstrates that the events of 1933-1945 have similarly influenced the study of Luke's writings. He suggests that, as the most perplexing of New Testament texts in its ambivalence toward Judaism, Luke-Acts has left scholars ample room for interpreting the question of how Luke meant to portray first-century Jews.
