description: Among all the writers of the New Testament no one has been more undervalued than Luke. Not only are Lukes Gospel and Acts more extensive than all of Pauls epistles put together; Lukes particular slant on the story he tells also sets him apart. In this book Justo Gonzalez examines Lukes characteristic perspective and its relevance for the church today.Gonzalez highlights eight themes in Lukes writing including his concern for gender inclusivity his emphasis on Jesus as Savior his interest in eating and its connection to worship and his stress on the great upheaval that God is bringing about. Focusing especially on the unique perspective that Luke brings to his writing as a historian Gonzalez shows how Lukes narrative invites us into his story and connects us with the entire history of humanity.
