The Gospel of Luke: A Study Guide for LIFE

James K. Crews

How can we know the truth of what Jesus did and taught? It's not as hard as you might think. Luke has done the hard work for us. He systematically interviewed eye-witnesses and those who followed Jesus during the years of His ministry to make a faithful record of Jesus' life and teachings. Luke, the beloved physician, recorded accurate details of Jesus' birth, His life and teachings and His gruesome death on the Cross. This Study Guide for LIFE directs readers through Luke's gospel by a three-pronged approach to explain what the text says, what it means and how to apply it to their lives. This is done by: 1) offering explanations of our current understanding of the more difficult passages; 2) asking readers questions that can be answered directly from the text to focus attention on specific aspects of the prophecy; and 3) asking probing questions that encourage readers to examine their own lives with the claims and teachings of Jesus. The Study Guide is appropriate for the study efforts of individuals, small groups or teachers preparing to explain this book. Whether you are a curious seeker or a professional minister, the Study Guide for LIFE will direct your studies into the heart of Luke's gospel, but also to the very heart of Jesus Christ Himself.

About the Author

James K. Crews, B-Th, MA-Th, (he prefers "Jim") is an ordained minister who has served as Bible teacher, church leader, missionary, international conference speaker, academic dean of a Bible college and author. He's done all those things, but that's not who he is. He's just your basic, shy analytical kind of guy who sees himself as a follower of Jesus, one who has spent his life studying God's Word and getting to know Him. He has assembled a lifetime of learning to create the Study Guides for LIFE to point believers toward Jesus so they can also know Him and make Him known. His theology is thoroughly conservative, evangelical, charismatic and Wesleyan. His study guides strive for unity in the body of Christ and a dependency on the Scriptures rather than on denominational dogma. With theology degrees from both the Independent Assemblies of God and a conservative Baptist seminary, he presents both sides of conflicting views. His goal is to expand the readers' awareness of the issues while directing them to the Scriptures and the father-heart of God so they can develop their own understanding and conclusions.
