Mekkattukunnel, Andrews George
The Priestly Blessing of the Risen Christ

An Exegetico-Theological Analysis of Luke 24, 50-53.

Supported by patristic and liturgical evidence, mainly from the Syriac Orient, the author substantiates his argument that the final blessing of the risen Christ is priestly. While this bible passage has traditionally been interpreted only as a description of the Ascension, the author shows that it also contains the Lucan theology of blessing in a nutshell and argues for a new hermeneutics in Lucan studies. 261 Seiten, broschiert (Europäische Hochschulschriften.
