From the past president of the Catholic Biblical Association of America, an unforgettable audio course that brings the Gospel of Luke to life.
With its themes of Jesusā all-inclusive compassion, healing, and forgiveness, Lukeās Gospel has always captivated Christians. Only the Gospel of Luke contains the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, the stories of Mary and Elizabeth in the infancy narratives, and the resurrection appearance to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
These 12 expertly delivered lectures from Sr. Barbara Reid will bring you to the heart of Lukeās Gospel. You will begin by exploring the historical setting of Lukeās life and writing, coming to understand Jesusā healing mission as He mends broken bodies as signs of the in-breaking of the reign of God. Next, youāll explore Jesusā ministry of forgiveness, as exemplified in the story of a paralyzed man and in His own words of pardon from the cross.
After exploring the parables retold in Luke, youāll investigate Jesusā inclusive mission and examine the ways Luke features female disciples. Youāll also look at Lukeās themes of fulfillment of Scripture and the Empowering Spirit that Jesus bestows on His followers.
Join Sr. Reid in discovering the powerful words of the Gospel of Luke today.
