William C. Robinson, "The Theological Context for Interpreting Luke's Travel Narrative," JBL 79 (1960): 20-31. ***

Robinson argues that the travel narrative which beings in Luke 9 was arranged by the final editor-author of Luke-Acts in accordance with his unique conception of Heilsgeschichte, which he conceived as a way (hodos), and that the principal function of the travel account--as a stage along that way--is in connection with the Lukan conception of "authenticated witness," on which he understood the entire life and ministry of the Christian church to hang.

Provocative redemptive-historical conception of hodos in Luke. Fails to see the way of Jesus as the substance of redemptive-history (as well as a pivotal stage).
