In his commentary on Luke, Michael Wolter places the story of Jesus within its cultural context and explores its relationship to the Jewish and Greco-Roman environment. A focus is placed on the form-critical and narrative analysis of the individual stories. However, beyond purely philological and tradition-historical investigations, the author emphasizes making the theological profile of the Gospel of Luke visible. Luke presents the story of Jesus as an integral part of the history of Israel and makes it clear that it is God Himself who acts for the salvation of Israel through the work of Jesus, who is authentically represented by Him. As a reader, Luke does not have a specific community in mind but rather all Christians of his own time and possibly also Christians of future generations.
