TABLE FELLOWSHIP AS A LITERARY MOTIF IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE.
- Authors
Smith, Dennis E.
- Abstract
The article examines Saint Luke's use of the symposium motif of table fellowship as a literary device in his Gospel narratives. Topics addressed include the Roman associations of meal traditions with the institution of symposium, the interpretive significance of ranking at table, status, and table talk as a mode of teaching, connections between eating and drinking and the concept of luxury.
