Luke the Historian, In the Light Of Research

Throughout the nineteenth century, historical research and the rise of higher criticism inspired a new interest in the Gospel of Luke. In this volume, derived from a collection of lectures delivered at the Northfield Christian Workers’ Conference in 1919, Robertson defends supernatural origin of the Bible in general and the inspiration of Luke in particular. He discusses the authorship and dating of Luke and Acts, the source material, the evidence of Luke’s medical background, and archaeological and geographical data. This volume also includes a complex topical index.
