Excerpt from The Style and Literary Method of Luke: The Diction of Luke and Acts The investigation of which the First Part is here published was made in the years 1911 to 1913, and submitted as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Harvard University'in 1913. Publication has been unavoidably delayed, and it seems best not to postpone longer the issue of the present part, on the Diction of Luke, which has a certain unity and completeness of its own. The Second Part will deal with Luke's treatment of his sources, Mark and Q, especially from a literary point of view, and with the style of Luke as illustrated by parallels in the Gospel and Acts. This second and larger part of the work will be published as soon as conditions growing out of the war permit; if the hopes of the editors are fulfilled, within the next few months. It will contain the author's preface and a table of contents to the whole, which can then be bound in one volume.
