Luke: Jesus Christ: Savior for the Nations

The Light of salvation for all the nations

Jesus Christ is a light that will reveal salvation to the nations...

So wrote Luke, the only Gentile writer found in the New Testament Scriptures. Luke saw in Jesus Christ the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy: "Arise! Shine! Your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has dawned. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." In clearly described themes, Luke takes his readers on a journey of discovery, finding in Jesus Christ, not only the light for Israel, but for people of all nations of the world.

"The book you hold in your hands is no dry seminary text, nor is it a feel-good self-help devotional.  There is a wealth of information here, presented in a clear and accessible writing style that makes this commentary a great read for new believers and seasoned theologians alike.  Luke's Gospel is examined not in a vaccuum, but
in the context of the totality of Scripture where frequent references to supporting verses serve as roadsigns, assuring the reader that he is on the right road.  This commentary informs and delights!"
