(Greek: Τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγέλιον, to kata Loukan euangelion),
also called the Gospel of Luke
or simply Luke
.
*the “Gospel According to Luke” is the 3rd of the 4 ‘canonical gospels’*
.
(it tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of ‘Jesus Christ’)
(‘Luke’ is the second-longest of the four gospels, and together with ‘Acts of the Apostles’, the pair make up a two-volume work from the same pen, called ‘Luke–Acts’)
(the cornerstone of ‘Luke-Acts’ theology is “salvation history”, the author’s understanding that God’s purpose is seen in the way he has acted, and will continue to act, in history)
(it divides the history of first-century ‘Christianity’ into 3 stages, with the gospel making up the first two of these – the arrival among men of ‘Jesus the Messiah’, from his birth to the beginning of his earthly mission in the meeting with John the Baptist followed by his earthly ministry, ‘Passion’, death and resurrection (concluding the gospel story per se))
(the gospel’s sources are the ‘Gospel of Mark’ (for the narrative of Christ’s earthly life), the sayings collection called the ‘Q source’ (for his teachings), and a collection of material called the ‘L’ (for Luke) source, which is found only in this gospel)
(‘Luke-Acts’ does not name its author)
(according to Church tradition this was ‘Luke the Evangelist’, the companion of ‘Paul’, but while this view is still occasionally put forward the scholarly consensus emphasises the many contradictions between Acts and the authentic ‘Pauline letters’)
.
(the most probable date for its composition is around 80–100 AD, and there is evidence that it was still being revised well into the 100s)
