Luke

About the Book

LUKE, Ambassador of the Word, is the story of a man of whom we know very little. Credited with writing the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, the New Testament gives hi only thirteen words. Tradition suggests Luke was a highly educated Greek physician, a native of Antioch and, later, a coworker with the Apostle Paul, deeply involved in the Early Church. Luke wrestles with his faith and his relationship to the Roman Empire through a man named Theophilus. In Luke we have theologian and a historian, a story worth telling.
