The Poetry of Truth - Reflections on the Gospel of Luke

The author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, St. Luke, is traditionally known as a sophisticated non-Jew Hellenist and perhaps a physician. He was an early convert to the Christian faith, most likely through the preaching of St. Paul. But as Gil Bailie points out in this presentation, Luke is above all a gifted teller of tales – or rather a re-teller of tales. The stories in Luke’s gospel are vivid and distinctive among the synoptic gospels.
