Luke—the author of the Gospel by his name and the book of Acts—was one of the Bible’s most unique writers. He was a gentile, a doctor by profession, a chronicler of early Christian history, and a missionary. He never met Jesus, yet he is the only Gospel to tell the full story of Christ—from His birth to His ministry, His sacrifice, and His return to heaven. Luke also includes 18 parables that are found nowhere else in the Gospels and more humor than any other New Testament writer.
In Through the Eyes of Luke, you will rediscover the person of Christ and the story of the early church in new and wonderful ways. Like Luke, who never met Jesus in person, we are invited to undertake the ultimate adventure of knowing and following Him.
