Troy Troftgruben discusses his Journal of Biblical Literature article “The Time It Takes: Prolonged Pace in Luke’s Travel Narrative (9:51-19:44).” He brings a wealth of valuable insights on the Gospel of Luke, particularly focusing on the travel narrative from chapters 9 to 19. He explores the significance of time and pacing in the narrative, the multifaceted nature of salvation in the canonical Gospels, and the central theme of discipleship. Troftgruben also emphasizes the unique language of journey in Luke, the key features of the travel narrative, and the theological motivations behind Luke's narrative structure and highlights the artistic craft of Luke's writing, suggesting that the journey itself is as important as the destination.
