"A WRITER writes for a variety of reasons, not least because
he feels compelled to commit to paper what he believes in
his heart. What he believes may be shared by a legion of
others, but there is still the compulsion to tell the story
through his own understanding of it. Although many had
already written their versions of the story of Jesus, Luke
was moved to put together his account of that story in the
hope that it would touch others and bring them closer to
his subject, Christ the Lord. Luke has clearly succeeded in
his task: down the ages his Gospel account has moved
many who welcomed as good news the message of Jesus
which clearly favours the vulnerable of this world, the outcasts, those who find themselves outside the boundaries of religious and social approval. Any commentary must reflect the preferences of the original text, and I have tried to do that in this book.
"I have attempted to combine scholarship with meditation in the hope that a reflective understanding will be born
of the alliance; but the reader is the only judge of that." - Denis McBride (from the Preface)
"...brings a notable power of popular
exposition to bear upon the Gospel ... The language is consistently fresh and contemporary ... a real pleasure to read ...a God-send for students and anyone
seeking an easy introduction to Luke's Doctrine and Life." - Flor McCarthy, SDB
