9. The Gospel of Luke
A tour through the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles represent the longest texts in the New Testament written by a single author. Although not written by an eyewitness to its events, Luke-Acts is mainly valued for its consistent narrative. It reads more like a history of the life of Jesus, his apostles, and the early church than the other Gospels. From the start of Luke to the end of Acts, the writer covers a time spanning from the conception of Christ to the house arrest of the Apostle Paul by Roman authorities, which occurred between 60 and 70 CE.
So who wrote Luke, how does it compare to other New Testament writings, and what can we learn from a writer who doesn’t claim to have been there? Learn more in this lecture from Professor Dale B. Martin’s Open Yale Courses series.
