Among New Testament writers, who is the best historian? Without a doubt, says Justo González, it’s Luke. Concerned about the particulars of people and events, Luke also gives readers the big picture, positioning the stories of Jesus not just in the history of Israel, but in the history of humanity. Luke tells a simultaneously detailed and grand story of salvation.
González highlights key themes in Luke’s storytelling, including his emphasis of God’s “great reversals,” his keen interest in shared meals and their intimate connection to worship and communion, and his passionate underscoring of both the saving work of Christ and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. González’ conversational style draws readers into Luke’s story with fresh overviews and rich details, showing how Luke invites us to continue his gospel witness today.
