The Book of Luke is one of the four Gospels, which are accounts of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Written by a doctor named Luke, it is the longest of the Gospels and is known for its detailed historical setting and its focus on Jesus’s compassion, especially towards those on the margins of society—women, the poor, and the outcast. Luke portrays Jesus as the Savior for all people, emphasizing the importance of prayer, the Holy Spirit, and the inclusivity of God’s Kingdom. This book often serves as the first part of a two-volume work, with the Book of Acts being the second, both addressed to a person named Theophilus.
