April 22, 2001 Summarize Lus concerns from last time¦ 188 ff: entreaty         Model Prayer         Friend at Midnight 190: Prayer and Kindness demand QUOTE: But for Luke there is one thing that rear make the Christ-like life impossible¦. ¦Matthew¦hyp¦Lu¦wealth.
                Matt: deceiver = play actor ? note Greek theater                 Lu: wealth ? Broader productions = greed, selfishness, idolatry What might wealth and hypocrisy energize in common?                 Blindness // self-deception // anxiety (note Lu 12:22ff ? be not anxious) 191: The fiction of the affluent film                 ¦piles up treasure but is not juicy toward God. What does it mean to be plenteous toward God? CAHILL follows the parable of the rich fool with the parable of Lazarus and Dives and then doesnt get around to the issue of worry until p. 193. NOTE: this is not Lukes order -- Like most of us, Cahill arranges material to make the points that HE motives to make. Does Cahills arrangement betray LUKEs ends as a redactor? NOTE ARRANGEMENT:         LUKE: The parable of the rich fool and the discourse on anxiety are diametric contextually (ch. 12). THEN, the parable of Lazarus and Dives is in ch. 16 and paired with the thematic statement in 16:16 ? The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the domain of God is proclaimed and everyone tries to enter it by force. Cahill is right that the composing concerning the danger of wealth continues throughout Luke. He is careless, however, in placing the parable closely Lazarus immediately following the parable of the rich fool.
Lukes intention is clearer if we take Lukes order and treat the issue Anxiety next.
193 (Lu 12:22ff)         Anxiety/worry 191 (Lu 16:19-31 in the context of 16:16-17)         Rich man and Lazarus A Miracle for Me ?
