Luke (Six Themes Everyone Should Know Series)

Publisher Description

The author traces six significant themes in the Gospel of Luke and explores their meanings--for Luke and for us today in the church. Luke's Gospel features ever-widening circles of activity--throughout the life of Jesus. Many social and cultural "boundaries" are crossed in Luke's narrative of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. This volume includes material for participants as well as outlines and guidance for leading all six sessions.

The Six Themes Everyone Should Know series introductes biblical books and their main themes. Each volume consists of six chapters that present major biblical themes; each chapter contains an introduction and three major sections:

• What does the biblical theme mean?
• What is the meaning of this biblical theme for the life of faith?
• What does the biblical theme mean for the church at this point in history for action?
