Book Description

The Gospel of Luke narrates the life of Jesus from the nativity stories, to Jesus’ baptism and temptation, ministry in Galilee, journey to and teaching in Jerusalem, and finally his death and resurrection. In his engaging guide to Luke’s account, Richard Vinson accompanies readers on their own compelling journey—a journey through the life of Christ as seen through the lenses of critical scholarship and contemporary culture. As a result, we cannot turn away from Luke’s primary messages: the good news of the Kingdom of God and Jesus’ emphatic teachings on wealth and poverty, repentance and forgiveness, and the role of women in Jesus’ ministry.
