The Gospel of Luke is the gospel that portrays Jesus most clearly as Savior. It is in this gospel that we find a Jesus of sensitivity and compassion. There is great gentleness, but there is nothing soft or easy-going about this Jesus. On the other hand, he does reflect the God who is the God of Sinners.

For us moderns, Luke's preaching of the Good News may be more congenial than others. Wilfrid John Harrington is an Irish Dominican. ""This book could provide the soundest scholarly and inspiring sourcebook for a Bible class or study group.""--The Irish Times.

<p>The gospels, at once historical and theological, proclaim Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, the definitive revelation of God. Mark, Matthew, and Luke do so along similar lines, but John is distinctively different. John has wholly imposed the Christ of faith upon the earthly Jesus. He has painted an icon. An icon brings out the spiritual significance of the subject. This is the final volume in a series of pastoral commentaries on the gospels which seek to make available the best of scriptural scholarship to the non-specialist. The series will be of particular interest to preachers, teachers and those coming to scripture study for the first time. ""As captivating and enlightening a short study of the Gospel of John as any I know. In simple thought and clear language it conveys the fruit of mu</p>
