This article surveys scholarly work on intertextual connections between Luke-Acts and Israel’s Scriptures, focusing on those works that interpret the literary and theological payoff of quotations, allusions, and echoes in Luke’s Doppelwerk. After reviewing major contributors to NT intertextuality generally, this survey focuses on those works that narrow in on Luke-Acts, organized into two groups: eclectic works, that study Luke’s allusion to many sources; and narrow-focused works, that study Luke’s allusions to one book (e.g., Isaiah) or one corpus (e.g., Psalms). This organization and a concluding summary will help scholars see what remains to be explored in Lukan intertextuality.
