The Gospel of Luke narrates the life of Jesus from the nativity stories, to Jesusâ baptism and temptation, ministry in Galilee, journey to and teaching in Jerusalem, and finally his death and resurrection. In his engaging guide to Lukeâs account, Richard Vinson accompanies readers on their own compelling journeyâa journey through the life of Christ as seen through the lenses of critical scholarship and contemporary culture. As a result, we cannot turn away from Lukeâs primary messages: the good news of the Kingdom of God and Jesusâ emphatic teachings on wealth and poverty, repentance and forgiveness, and the role of women in Jesusâ ministry.
