- Title
RECEIVING CHRIST'S PRIESTLY BENEDICTION: A BIBLICAL, HISTORICAL, AND THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF LUKE 24:50-53.

Kapic, Kelly M.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the connection between benediction and the ascension of Jesus Christ in the biblical passage Luke 24:50-53. It examines the understanding of Saint Luke of the relationship between Christ and blessing. It compares the apostle's imagery with background material and indications of how the idea is developed in the New Testament. Examples are cited on how the connection have been used historically to inform a theological understanding of the presence of Jesus Christ in the church.
