At the heart of Luke’s gospel are questions about God’s plan, His Messiah, and the emerging new community of Gentile Christians. In this course, Dr. Bock highlights these and other significant theological themes found in the Gospel of Luke. Learners complete a textual examination of the gospel of Luke and its message by working through the argument of Like at one chapter per lecture. Dr. Brock’s purpose is to show “how Jesus’ life, teaching, death, and resurrection actually reflect divine events fulfilled among us” (Luke 1:1). The course enables students to prepare this narrative material for teaching in ministry, and to apply the message of Luke to life.
