The Gospel of Luke is ever the favorite of those who prefer the
carefully researched collection of testimony to the personal
records. Matthew took things down in tax collector shorthand; Mark
got his material from Peter; John provides the reminiscences of an
old man recalling his best friend - but Luke is the scholar who sets
things down in order. Join us, please, in this study of the
scholarly, well researched Gospel.
