Luke 10–24 by Barbara E. Reid, OP and Shelly Matthews (review)

(John 20:11-23),” M. notes that the two angels in John 20:12 may evoke the cherubim at either end of the mercy seat at the top of the holy of holies. John 2:18–22 develops the theme that Jesus is the eschatological temple, showing that through him comes the forgiveness of sin. In a brief “Conclusion,” M. reviews the themes that he has studied and presents the impact of Yom Kippur on the Gospels. The strongest influence is on Matthew, while M. argues that Luke and John do not “possess a clear Day of Atonement typology” (p. 128), though there may be some influence on John. Throughout his study, M. presents the secondary literature with a critique of contributions before offering his own judicious approach to the Day of Atonement themes, linking these essays to his earlier book, mentioned above. Endnotes come at the end of each chapter, which is but a minor inconvenience.
