Conversations with Scripture: The Gospel of Luke

Luke intuitively understands the importance of storytelling as the key to human growth, change, and healing. Speaking to the crisis of faith faced by his church, Luke retells the story of Jesus’ birth, ministry, death, and resurrection as a means of addressing the spiritual struggles that resurface generation after generation. Touching on issues of belonging, authority, tradition, behavior, and hope, Frederick W. Schmidt offers a reading of Luke’s Gospel that speaks to today’s reader.
