What's It About?
Luke is the most detailed gospel — written by a doctor who did his research. He highlights Jesus' compassion for outsiders: women, the poor, , and everyone society overlooked. If wrote for Jews and for Romans, Luke wrote for everyone else. It's part one of a two-part work — Acts picks up right where Luke leaves off.
