| Abstract: | The account of Paul’s shipwreck and his three-month stay in Malta within the “We-sections” in Acts of the Apostles certainly serves a narrative role that captivates the reader. It is the most detailed event, comparable to the accounts of the Passion of Jesus (Lk 22-23), or to the pericope of Peter and Cornelius in Acts of the Apostles (Acts 10-11). The aim of this study is to suggest a new perspective on the function of this account within the whole Lucan two-fold work and especially regarding Luke’s constant focus on the universal character of salvation. |
