Creator Fung, Benjamin W.W. Spencer, Aida B. Viljoen, Francois P.
 
Subject New Testament; Gospel of Luke; writing order καθεξῆς; Luke; chronological; logical; writing order
Description In the preface of his Gospel Luke says that he is going to write ‘in an orderly account’ (καθεξῆς). However, scholars have no consensus about the kind of order Luke is seeking. This article aims to ascertain the meaning of καθεξῆς through a detailed study of this word, which includes a study of its usages in the Bible, its etymology, related words, and its meaning in contemporary Greek usages. This article proposes that καθεξῆς most likely refers to chronological order.
