It begins with an overview of the history of scholarship on the Greek of the {NT} and its Semitisms, and then introduces five major theories about Luke's Semitisms: Semitic sources, use of Septuagintal Greek, the Greek of the ancient synagogue, literary code-switching, and bilingualism. It next discusses Semitisms in Luke's vocabulary (e.g. nouns, noun word groups, verbs, idiomatic expressions), and Semitisms in Luke's syntax (e.g. syntax of pronouns, verbal syntax, word order). It concludes with a review of the five theories in light of the research, proposes a complementarity of linguistic backgrounds (illustrated by a number of examples) in lieu of a monocausal explanatory model, and offers suggestions for further research. Hogeterp is a research fellow in the {NT} department at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa, and Denaux is professor emeritus of {KU} Leuven and dean emeritus of Tilburg School of Catholic Theology.
