Bredenhof analyses the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31) by examining its functions as a narrative, considering its persuasiveness as a rhetorical unit, and situating it within a Graeco-Roman and Jewish intertextual conversation on the themes of wealth and poverty, and authoritative revelation. The parable portrays the consequences of the rich man's failure to respond to the suffering of Lazarus. Bredenhof argues that the parable offers its audience a prospect for alternative outcomes, in response both to poverty and to a person who has risen from the dead. This prospect is particularly evident when the parable is read in anticipation of the ethical and theological concerns of Luke's second volume in Acts. Bredenhof asserts that reading within the context of Luke-Acts contributes to the understanding of Luke's purposes with this narrative. It is in Acts that his audience witnesses the parable's message about mercy being applied through charitable initiatives in the community of believers, while the Acts accounts of preaching and teaching demonstrate that a true reading of “Moses and the prophets” is inseparably joined to the believing acceptance of one risen from the dead. Through a re-reading of Luke 16:19-31 in its Luke-Acts context, its message is amplified and commended to the parable's audience for their response.

E. W. Bullinger's superb explanation of the processes of death and resurrection hold eternal value, making this book of supreme use to Christians. The famous parable of the Book of Luke, which this book is named after, is explained in full. In this story, the rich man suffers in flame after death for ignoring Lazarus a beggar at his gates. The beggar - who also dies - instead has a place in heaven. The rich man, repentant for ignoring the impoverished and sore-covered man, begs to be free of the agonizing hellfire. This famous depiction of the afterlife has been a topic of fascination for Christians. Eager to explain what the parable means, E. W. Bullinger analyzes both the words and elsewhere in the Biblical scriptures. He keenly differentiates between the afterlife and the resurrection, providing insight to believers who might otherwise have been mystified by these words. Additionally, this book represents an excellent examination of the New Testament; Bullinger, with a spiritual deftness only a lifelong commitment to preaching can infer, cites the poignant passages of scripture in support of his own words. Thus this text is a fine introduction to Bullinger's other written works which encompass many other Biblical topics. This edition contains the original text of the Bible, and is in large print for ease of comprehension by readers of all ages.
