Shows the unique aspects of Luke's account of Jesus's death coming from Wisdom patterns and words. Joel B. Green Working from the assumption that Luke-Acts was addressed to a Christian readership in order to provide scriptural confirmation that they were the genuine heirs of God's promises, Doble attempts to show how Luke has drawn on words and patterns from the Wisdom of Solomon to demonstrate that Jesus' execution, far from constituting a shameful rejection, brought to expression the divine plan evident in "the paradox of salvation"....[A] welcome contribution to the growing appreciation of a distinctively Lukan way of construing the significance of the cross. —Society of Biblical Literature
