Possessions in Luke-Acts: A Sociological Perspective. Kraybill, D. B. & Sweetland, D. M. Perspectives in Religious Studies, 10(3):215--239, 1983. 00011abstract bibtex The role and function of possessions remains a nagging enigma in Luke-Acts studies. This study suggests that the difference in economic perspective in Luke's two-volume work is partially explained by the fact that the Gospel and Acts represent different stages in the career of a social movement. Such a sociological explanation does not resolve all the issues, but it does clarify them and offers a plausible alternate explanation. Luke's Gospel provides glimpses of the rudimentary and enthusiastic phase of a social movement, while the social organization emerging in Acts reflects a secondary stage of institutionalization in the career of the Jesus Movement.
