In this episode the hosts introduce the Gospel of Luke, highlighting Luke’s background as a physician, a Gentile author, and the author of Acts. They discuss Luke’s careful, investigative approach to writing and his reliance on eyewitness accounts to provide a historically grounded account of Jesus’ life.
The conversation covers Luke’s purpose in addressing Theophilus, his emphasis on the humanity of Jesus, and the rich detail Luke includes about Jesus’ birth, childhood, ministry, and concern for marginalized people. The hosts also summarize Luke’s narrative arc—from Jerusalem and Nazareth to Galilee, Bethany, and the crucifixion and resurrection—and note the gospel’s strong historical and archaeological support.
The episode encourages listeners to investigate the claims of Christianity for themselves, using evidence and study to grow in understanding. It closes with prayer and a teaser for the next episode about the angel’s promise of John the Baptist to Zechariah.
