Luke (Life Application Bible Commentary)
LUKE.    In the New Testament’s longest book, Luke, the physician friend of the Apostle Paul, reveals Jesus as the Man who came to save all-including women, the poor, the outcast, the sick, and the ordinary, everyday people of every nation.  Luke’s vivid, fast-moving report offers a gospel of reconciliation and celebration.    This Bible study traces Luke’s story from the announcement of Jesus’ birth, through His ministry in Galilee and His training of the disciples on the way to Jerusalem, to His submission to the crucifixion and His ultimate triumph in the resurrection.
