Luke: Two Surprises After a Lifetime of Bible Study | Gospel of Luke | N.T. Wright Online

Prof. N.T. is one of the world's foremost scholars of the Gospels. Yet even today, he is surprised by Scripture.

In this short video from the upcoming course 'The Gospel According to Luke,' Prof. Wright describes two surprises he has recently encountered in his own study of this book about Jesus.

COMING OCTOBER 2022: Gospel of Luke

Who did Jesus think he was? What was the purpose of his ministry? And how do we know?

In this course, Prof. Wright ushers students through Luke’s Gospel scene by scene, commenting and drawing out major themes and points of interest.

Luke is a work of serious history, using eyewitness testimony and oral tradition as its source material. It is the history of Jesus of Nazareth – a real, flesh and blood human – whose personal story is at the same time the story of God’s intention to put things right, for Israel and for the whole world.

It is the story of a confrontation between the familiar empires of the world and God’s Kingdom, built on a new model of lordship; it is the story of a revolution of healing and feasting, rather than of violence.
Join in the surprising story of God’s visitation and see why Prof. Wright calls Luke ‘the evangelist of prayer, praise, and peace’!

The beauty of the Bible in my experience is that the more I know, the more there is to learn and relearn. We only have to question ourselves if we feel as if we've "figured it all out".

Thank you, Father Tom!
Cheers from a Hungarian monastic reader of the Gospels...

It is thought that Luke was a physician & do no harm, would have been part of Luke's creed. The Tapestry that our LORD designs. You encourage my journey in The Word, eloquently. Thank you brother, Tom. 🥖🐟

I'm grateful to you for making your thoughts accessible like this. I suppose I could add that you often leave me uncomfortable. I usually wind up feeling like an old wineskin being stretched by new inights.

I'm looking for a Bible study on Luke and this came up!

Who ever has ears to hear, let them hear. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.
More talk of John the Baptist and his disciples and his teachings being used? As in Jesus is the God with in John preparing John's disciples for the for the coming of Christ. The Son of man that Jesus sends to reveal all mysteries and secrets of Himself. None of these Gospel's truly line up, for the Gospel's that were edited out were left out with a purpose. The book of Enoch tells you all about the Son of man along with every gospel in the new testament. It was the Son of man in the belly of the whale for 3 days. 1 day is as a thousand. ⌛🙏🕊️
