From open to close, the Gospel of Luke is filled with amazement. “[Jesus’] father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him”(Luke 2:33). “Everyone was amazed at all the things he was doing”(Luke 9:43). “[Peter] went home, amazed at what had happened”(Luke 24:12).
Throughout the life and ministry of Jesus, those who met him were astonished by their encounter, from the shepherds at the Nativity to the disciples at the empty tomb. With careful attention to detail, musician and writer Michael Card embarks on an imaginative journey through this element of marvel in Luke: The Gospel of Amazement. He paints a portrait of Luke as he imagines this Gospel writer’s life as a gentile, a doctor, and a slave. What might Luke have experienced as he interviewed eyewitnesses of Jesus’ miracles? What leads Luke to focus on the marginalized and the unlikely in his accounts? And why does Luke include certain details that the other Gospel writers omit?
