Luke, too, presents Jerusalem as the center of the world and the focal point of God’s redemptive activity, but for a different reason. The salvation promised and achieved in Judaism (symbolized by Jerusalem) was all along intended for the whole world. Luke’s geographical typology therefore presents the gospel moving outward from its center both geographically and ethnically.1
