Just wanted to give you a heads up on some of the resources I’m using as we study Luke together on Sundays.

I’ve got a selection of commentaries for the Gospel of Luke but found these to be the most helpful:

Luke by Robert H. Stein in the New American Commentary series.

It’s a great one-volume treatment of this gospel by Robert Stein, a New Testament professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.

In my opinion, this is probably the best commentary on the gospel of Luke.  It’s a two-volume set in the Baker Exegetical Commentary series, by New Testament professor Darrell Bock. 

It’s a much more technical read, and goes into incredible detail.  Not for the faint-hearted!

This is another favourite!  It’s a two-volume work in the Preach the Word series, by pastor R. Kent Hughes (from which I get a lot of my quotes!). 

 Kent Hughes is senior pastor of College Church in Wheaton, Illinois, USA.

Here’s fantastic quote from Mr Hughes about studying Luke:

“Luke’s carefully researched and orderly account of the life of Jesus Christ is one of the finest pieces of historical writing in all of ancient literature.  Yet it also accomplishes its divinely appointed – and more personal – purpose: that people of every century “may know the truth.”  Luke will make you certain about the truth – not only of his gospel, but of the gospel; those who study Luke cannot stay the same.  He took great pains to present the gospel with maximum power under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  The result is a compelling story.”

And finally…

R.C Sproul’s wonderful expoistion of the Gospel of Luke, entitled: A Walk With God”.

It’s a wonderful book for studying this great gospel in your devotions, as he breaks the book down into about 100 short passage and makes insightful comments to help us understand God’s Word.

If you’re going to buy one book on Luke, I’d whole-heartedly recommend this one!
