Fr. Joseph Allen
Following in His Footsteps: Part Four
Fr. Joseph explores “Luke-Acts” in the fourth lecture, noting the continuity of apostleship between the
two books. This structure aligns with the central point of St. Luke, who emphasized the deep connection
between Christology and Ecclesiology. Fr. Joseph discusses multiple distinctions of the Gospel according
to St. Luke and the Book of Acts, including the use of time and space, interesting character appearances,
focus on the Life of the Spirit, proclamation of universal salvation, emphasis on prophesy, and criticality
of the Eucharist.

About
The late V. Rev. Dr. Joseph J. Allen (1943-2020) was a prolific author, professor, theologian, and director of theological and pastoral education for the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese. He was also the pastor of St. Anthony Orthodox Church in Bergenfield, New Jersey, for over 53 years. Fr. Joseph’s unique storytelling ability, combined with a proficiency not only in pastoral theology—his doctoral field—but also in homiletics, comes through in his lectures, which were recently recovered, edited, and digitized from a long-forgotten set of cassette tapes.
