Intertextuality and Literary Motifs: The Book of Isaiah in Luke-Acts.

This article offers in its first section a brief survey of intertextuality theories according to ‎modern literary criticism, and especially the ones developed by Gerard Genette‏.‏‎ Then an ‎analysis of statistical data is developed in order to determine the immanent intensity of the ‎Isaian text in the Lucan Diptych. Some of the most relevant Lucan pericopes are analyzed in ‎order to show the impact of Isaiah on Luke’s theology.  Among the most prominent Isaian topics ‎in Luke can be mentioned the following ones: the openness to the Nations, The expectation of the ‎coming suffering servant and the full commitment to the principles of social justice‏.‏
