Riassunto:

A Friendly Guide to Luke’s Gospel is an invitation to embark on a journey full of surprises. The author of Luke was an accomplished and sophisticated writer, with a keen sense of literary structure as well as a profound understanding of the universal nature of God’s love. For the reader who has perhaps become used to hearing gospels in Sunday fragments, Stuart Moran’s commentary encourages us to read Luke's Gospel as a whole book, seeing it as a story cra­fted by a master hand. For example, he shows the reader Luke’s elegant balancing of the stories about the births of both Jesus and John the Baptist: the parallels are compelling and illuminating. And Moran’s analysis of the story of the Lost Son (known of old as the Prodigal Son) shows us the heart of Luke’s insight into what Jesus was telling his disciples about God: that God loves us, even to a point that some would consider unwise.
