Eyewitness Bible Series: Luke

Luke is the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It tells of his origin, life, teachings, ministry, and miracles. It tells of his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. Consequently, Luke may be the most informative book in the Bible. Before writing his book, Luke examined written materials and talked to eyewitnesses. Eyewitness Bible Series: Luke is meant to imitate some of the stories Luke might have heard, as well as explore their meaning and importance. This series is true to the Bible, but it fills in storylines based on history, geography, and imagination. This series presumes that the author of Luke is a doctor who was a good friend and companion of Paul. That presumption sets the stage for Luke being able to correctly assess the veracity of the birth accounts of both John the Baptist and Jesus and to understand their importance, both physically and spiritually. Don’t you imagine Luke, a doctor, was hesitant to write about miracles? But he believed in them to the point that he started his book with two miracle stories that could only be considered unlikely, if not outlandish.
