Luke Introduction

Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
In this introduction to the book of Luke, Steve Gregg presents evidence for Luke being the author of the third gospel as well as the book of Acts. He notes that while Luke's profession as a physician is incidental, it is possible that he was the first physician in the Christian community. Gregg also explores the possibility that the book of Luke was written as a research project to aid in Paul's upcoming trial before Nero, and suggests that Theophilus, a new Christian, may have sponsored its writing. Throughout the lecture, Gregg highlights unique aspects of the book of Luke, such as its emphasis on historical connections and its inclusion of stories that are not found in the other gospels.
