Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is the 3rd book in the New Testament coming after the Gospels of Matthew and Mark and before the Gospel of John. It tells the story of the life of Jesus, being written to Theophilus. Luke does not claim to be an eyewitness, but instead one who has "carefully investigated everything from the beginning" (Luke 1:3) and now wants to "write an orderly account" so that Theophilus would "know the certainty of the things" he had been taught. (Luke 1:3-4)

The Gospel of Luke was written in flawless Greek and has been called "the most beautiful book ever written." Only this Gospel tells the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, and Luke recounts them with exquisi

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is a Muslim terrorist from Nigeria, acting on orders from Al Qaeda to blow up a commercial American airliner on Christmas Day 2009. Abdulmutallab flew on Northwest Flight 253 bound for Detroit, tried and failed to detonate a explosive device before being taken into custody. He was an engineering student at the UK's London's University College.

He used PETN, a powerful plastic explosive. A few ounces can blast open an airplane, so it is the preferred weapon of terrorists. Abdulmutallab tried to ignite a two-part concoction of PETN and possibly a glycol-based liquid explosive in a bomb concealed in his underwear. It produced a popping noise, smoke, and some fire, but no deadly detonation, because he used the wrong technique. Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen quickly took the credit

Security

The episode was a catastrophic breach of security. He boarded in Nigeria, where security is notoriously lax, and changed planes in Amsterdam, where security officials are not allowed to use its full-body scanners because of privacy concerns. He paid for an expensive international flight in cash, and had no luggage--well known danger signals. Worse, his father, a leading banker in Nigeria, had met with U.S. State Department and CIA officials a month before the bombing attempt to warn them his son had become radicalized, but they took no action and allowed the terrorist to keep his permanent visa permitting unrestricted entry into the U.S.

Lamestream Media

As usual, protecting the image of Islamic extremists is a job for the liberal media. They are united in distorting, minimizing, watering-down the event by omitting the word "Terrorist" or "Muslim" from their reporting.

te, emotional detail. Only the Gospel of Luke recounts with literary skill the meeting of the risen Lord with the two men walking on their way to Emmaus, whose "eyes were kept from recognizing him."

Luke is considered one of the Synoptic Gospels and Luke is generally considered to have borrowed from Mark as one of his sources as did Matthew. It is unknown if Matthew or Luke borrowed from each other or which came first.

Authorship

This tenth-century Egyptian codex was donated to Pope Eugenius IV by the Coptic delegates at the Council of Ferrara-Florence. Translated from a Coptic original, it is one of the earliest Arabic versions of any part of the New Testament, none of which can be dated before the late eighth or ninth centuries.

The Gospel of Luke does not name its author, but as a companion volume to the book of Acts, it can be inferred by the use of "we" when describing part of Paul's journeys that the author traveled with Paul and Luke, the doctor, becomes the most likely candidate. The extremely sophisticated Greek of Luke also argues for a man who was very educated as does his attention to detail and the medical language in use matches that of other ancient Greek doctors. The ancient church father Irenaeus ascribed the work to Luke as does the Muratorian Canon. It is also mentioned by Clemente of Alexandria.

Place of Writing

Based on the descriptions of places in Palestine, it is generally assumed that the reader was unfamiliar with that land. It's not known where Luke was written, but it is assumed it is outside of Palestine and to an audience that is non-Jewish.

Date

Luke is generally believed to have been written in the 70's or 80's, but it is also possible it was written in the late 50's or early 60's based upon the abrupt ending in Acts. The thinking goes why wouldn't Luke have continued the history in Acts if he had written it later? And why wouldn't he have mentioned the martyrdom of Paul?
