Luke continues to challenge our lives. Focusing on Jesus and his earthly ministry among the early church, Michael, F. Patella, OSB, opens the Gospel of Luke to the 21st-century reader.
Patella presents literary, textual, and historical criticism in a readable manner to give readers a solid background for the Lukan Gospel. A brief introduction informs reader of Luke's literary technique, Luke as an evangelist, and other historical data.
Chapters are "The Prologue (1:1–4)," «The Infancy Narrative (1:5–2:52)," «Preparation for the Public Ministry (3:1–4:13)," «The Ministry in Galilee (4:!4–9:50)," «The Journey to Jerusalem (9:51019:27)," «The Teaching Ministry in Jerusalem (19:28–21:38)," «The Passion (22:1–23:56)," «The Resurrection (24:1–53).» Also includes questions for discussion.
