The Gospel of Luke: Jesus, Savior of the World

Luke set out to write an “orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled among us . . . so that you may know the truth.” His work encompasses two NT books: the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. In the Gospel, Luke portrays Jesus as the Savior of all the world, Jew and non-Jew alike. Luke uses his considerable skills as a writer and preacher to present the Good News of Jesus Christ in a way that speaks to us all. In this lecture-oriented class, we’ll seek to gain a better understanding of this Gospel and of Jesus’ life and teachings. We’ll learn how Luke’s preaching of Christ can help us all to become better disciples.

This eight-week class was last offered in the Winter 2005 St. Andrew Academy session
