The Bible Guides for Everyone can be used alone or in a group. They are designed to help you understand the Bible in a new way, under the guidance of one of today's leading New Testament scholars. Through reflection questions, prayer suggestions, and information about the historical and cultural background of the texts, these guides will help you move toward a richer understanding of the biblical message and the Christian life.
Who was Luke? Was he one of Paul's companions? Was he a doctor? We know that he was educated and cultured, that he wrote for people far from where Jesus lived. His gospel is the source of our Christmas stories and our favorite parables, those of the prodigal son and the good Samaritan. Here we see Jesus' concern for the poor and marginalized, and especially for women and children. It is also Luke who tells us of the thief who repents on the cross and of the resurrected Christ who accompanies his disciples on the road to Emmaus.
For Luke, Jesus is not just a human being who changed the course of world history. He is God made man, who deserves to receive our adoration and our praise. For Luke, it is essential to worship God. Is it the same for us?
In these twenty-six studies, we discover Luke's purpose: to present the good news of Jesus as clearly as possible.
