In light of the connection between hospitality and piety to the gods in the ancient Mediterranean, Luke ends his second volume in this manner to portray Gentile hospitality as the appropriate response to Paul?s message of God?s salvation -- a response that portrays them as hospitable exemplars within the Lukan narrative and contrasts them with the Roman Jews who reject Paul and his message. 410 0$aSupplements to Novum Testamentum ;$vv. 153. 606 $aHospitality$xBiblical teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHospitality$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a226.6/06 700 $aJipp$b Joshua W$0991046 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452626903321 996 $aDivine visitations and hospitality to strangers in Luke-Acts$92267904 997 $aUNINA
