Author
– Luke
Time – 4 B.C. to 30 A.D.
Summary
– The book of Luke gives us the most complete look at the
life of Jesus. Luke uses eyewitnesses as sources for his writings.
He stresses Jesus’ humanity (since Luke was a doctor himself)
and compassion as well as the power of the Holy Spirit and
of prayer.
Key
Verses – "Now when the centurion saw what had happened,
he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous
man!" Luke 23 v 47 "for
the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was
lost" Luke
19 v 10
Unique
Features – It was written particularly for Greeks, who
delighted in wisdom, beauty and system. Luke, therefore, tells
the story of Jesus, unfolding his development in a systematic
manner, setting the facts in chronological order in a manner
not attempted by the other writers. Luke was an artist with
the pen, drawing the portrait of Jesus as the perfect man.
He followed up by writing the book of Acts (the Acts of the
Apostles.
