A Disciple “Will Be Like His Teacher” (Luke 6:40): Making Disciples in the Gospel of Luke

Abstract

Using Luke 6:40 as a springboard, this paper examines how the formation of disciples occurs and how Luke’s moral logic works. Three aspects of formation are examined: the roles of imitation, community, and habit. For Luke’s moral vision, the study points out three key warrants: rewards, punishments, and imitation.
