Introduction to The Gospel of Luke
The Gospel of Luke was said to be written by Luke, who is known among the
Christians as well as the readers of religion as one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ.
Luke was a Greek and was the first Gentile Christian writer who wrote The New Testament
about the teachings of Christ himself. Although there are some confusions about the
authenticity of Luke as one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ himself, still it is stated he
had access to the historical records using which he had carefully researched the life and the
teachings of Jesus Christ himself.
The Gospel of Luke mainly deals with the themes which state about the humility of
Jesus Christ himself. The Gospel tells the readers about the subject matter of the life of Jesus
Christ himself and how he had offered himself as a sacrifice for washing the sins of the
human beings. Luke in his version of the Gospel itself, uses the information which was
available to him to present the information in the Gospel so that the readers of the Gospel can
state with certainty that Jesus Christ is God himself. The readers also gets a glimpse of the
character of Jesus Christ and how he was in his life. Luke tells the readers in his writings that
Jesus Christ loved everyone and he taught people to love and embrace others instead of
hatred.
Another important feature which the readers can find in the Gospel of Luke is the fact
that the women in the Gospel were given much more importance by Luke than those of the
Gospels of the other disciples of Jesus Christ himself in the Bible himself (Noland:21).
