This study refutes the allegation that the author of Luke and Acts showed no systematic thought about the significance of Jesus' death, that is, he has no theologia crucis. Peter Doble focuses sharply on the Gospel's death scene and explores those features which appear in Luke alone, then extends the results into the longer account of Jesus' final days in Jerusalem. In the final section, Doble demonstrates how specific words and patterns from Wisdom shape and fill Luke's retelling of the story of Jesus' entrapment, trials and death. Luke wanted his readers to understand that what had happened to Jesus was not a humiliating rejection but in accord with scriptures presentation of God's plan for salvation, and he modelled traditional material about Jesus' road to the crucifixion around an explanatory model which he drew from Wisdom.
