The Gospel of Luke: A Bible Story Course

Fresh insight into Luke’s timeless message from a celebrated Oxford professor and translator of the Greek Bible.

Sometimes called “the gospel of the poor,” the Gospel according to Luke is known for its praise of the lowly, its meditations on forgiveness, and its preoccupation with women. Beginning with the Infancy Narratives—in which Luke helpfully instructs us how to read his text—Catholic philosophy professor Father Nick King, S.J., elucidates the distinctive features of Luke’s Gospel in 12 inspiring audio lectures.  

An erudite audio course, this series also helps you understand the gospel’s connection to Luke’s second volume, Acts of the Apostles. Fr. King shares with you an intriguing theory of the relationship between the two writings, as well as reflections on Luke’s attention to women, Luke’s idea of “hospitality,” the “Lucan Journey” in the context of our lives today, the distinction between forgiveness and repentance, and the question of Luke’s wealthy audience. You’ll also spend time examining Luke’s vision of Jesus.

Fr. King’s close reading of the Gospel according to Luke distills time-honored lessons for a modern audience with grace and cogency. Join his classroom from your home or car today.
