The Parable of the Persistent Widow: Luke 18:1–8 in Context
(2019) O’Connor, John
John’s project explores how a detailed exegetical treatment of Luke’s Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8) can offer an insight into the Lukan portrayal of women characters especially in regard to their role in discipleship. The thesis takes into account concerns relating to current feminist hermeneutics and connects them to Luke’s characterization of female characters.

(2011-04-03) Miller, Nicholas H.
