Savior
The Story of Jesus According to Luke
Embedded Files
The Gospel of Luke is directed toward Greek and Roman readers. It begins with a typical Greek style introduction that included Luke's method and purpose in writing. It highlights Jesus' compassion for the common man and woman and their faith in him, and it presents Jesus as their Savior as much as he was Savior of the Jews.

But even the disciples had much to learn before they were ready.
Not everyone found Jesus' teaching lifegiving. They were too much into the things of the world and building their own kingdoms to want to follow a Savior who asked them to leave those things to follow him.

There are several puzzles and controversies about particular passages. Those are discussed in essays in the following section.
Of interest is when the census referred to in Luke 2 was taken.
Of interest is when the census referred to in Luke 2 was taken.
The skeptical answer is that it refers to the 6 A.D. census undertaken by Quirinius governor of Syria and concludes Luke got it wrong. But that was not an empire-wide census. The other possibility is that it was the empire-wide census ordered by Augustus in 8 B.C. The essay discusses the text and history to determine which census Luke was referring to.
The story does not end here. Luke continues with Jesus' Apostles taking the message of this Savior for all men and for all time to the Roman world and beyond and how the Holy Spirit gathered men and women of every race and nationality to Jesus. That is all in the book of Acts.
Greetings. My name is Don Camp. I have been a Bible teacher and pastor for over 30 years. After retirement from teaching, I published Messiah: The Story of Jesus According to Matthew and recently placed that book online here on Today and Tomorrow. I've since added other reading guides. The series Savior: The Story of Jesus According to Luke is the latest.
My hope is that the casual language that made them enjoyable to my students would appeal to others.
