Evangelie naar Lucas

• War on earth. Benedictus A.D. MCMLXXIX. Encounter 5 (nr. 1, December 1979), p. 1.
  The principal enemies in the Benedictus are not the Romans. Zechariah and his wife were law-abiding citizens, giving due respect to the Roman authorities. The song Zechariah sings, is of the Holy War - war against Satan, sin and everything that holds men back from a perfect relationship with God. He knows that the Messiah will win that war one day, for this is the sacred promise of the covenant.
• Lukas en kersfeit: Reformasie teenoor Rewolusie. Kerk en Woord 26 (nr. 12, December 1978), pp. 285-286.
  Soms is oor Luk. 2 so gespreek: Augustus se ryk staan teenoor Christus se ryk, Augustus se registrasie teenoor Christus se registrasie. Dit is onjuis. Het ons wel daaraan gedink wat dit beteken het dat Josef na die census in Betlehem gegaan het? Daardeur het hy die Romeinse keiser erken. Lukas laat sien hoe die huis van Dawid die Caesar in Rome erken. En - dat die kerk dit ook doen.
• The Tempel in the Gospel according to Luke. Neotestamentica 7 (1973), pp. 49-59.
  Luke shows how the glory of Jahweh has come in Christ to the temple. But the temple and its servants have rejected it. Israel has chosen sides with terrorists (Barabbas) ... a point that will have been very meaningful for Theophilus. The transformation of the temple area into a Jewish army camp, will call destruction upon the city and the nation. This will not come by fate. In these happenings the sovereignity of the Son of man will be revealed. He procures justice for his church which is tormented by the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and the synagogues in the whole Roman world.
