Topic: The Gospel of Luke

Description: More so than the other three Gospel writers, Luke’s Gospel is a history of Jesus’ life and ministry. Even the apostle Paul does not place as much emphasis as Luke on Jesus’ earthly life as an essential feature of the Gospel. Luke displays a keen interest in Jesus’ dealings with people from all classes, races and walks of life. The result is that when we, as Christians, are told to “imitate Christ” or “put on Christ,” Luke affords us an actual model for behavior. The class format is oriented toward thought questions and group discussion with an emphasis on life application.
