Gospel of Luke: Commentaries

What makes this commentary on Luke stand apart from others is that, from beginning to end, this is a literary analysis. Because it focuses solely on the gospel as it appears and not on its source or origin, this commentary richly and thoroughly explores just what Luke is saying and how he says it.

"This current translation of a major biblical commentary on the Gospel of Luke makes an outstanding contribution for the life of the Christian community today. This translation is the work of a distinguished Scripture scholar - Robert J. Karris, OFM - who has done an exceptional job. The outcome offers insight not only into the riches of many Church Fathers on whose thought he draws, but in its finished form, this publication is an excellent resource for teachers and for preachers, as well as for many who reflect on this Gospel in search of spiritual insight"--Zachary Hayes, Catholic Theological Union.

The Anchor Bible Commentary is the collaborative effort of Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from around the world. Introduction and notes by Keith Cushman.

This study examines how the Gospel of Luke portrays Jesus most clearly as saviour. It is in this Gospel that Jesus is found as sensitive and compassionate. There is great gentleness, but there is nothing soft or easy-going about this Jesus. On the other hand, he does reflect the God who is, disconcertingly, the God of sinners. The Lucan Jesus, who truly knows the Father, is wholly in the business of lifting the burden of sin - not of adding to it.
