The Gospel of Luke

Paper Summary:

The paper is a discussion on the Gospel of Luke and comments that it is a source for a biographical account explaining the life of Jesus and his teachings and that it is one of the gospels that make up the New Testament. The paper notes that it differs in terms of its theological emphases, with its general focus on women. The paper concludes that modern day ministry must incorporate aspects of both classic Christian traditions and feminine Christian traditions into their preaching.

From the Paper:

"Whether Jesus was a real individual, or human, or whether he was a divine Son of God or God himself is a question that cannot be answered. The answer is either both or it depends on who you ask. Jesus did exist, but how he existed is up to interpretation. For example, Christians believe that Jesus was not a man but in fact was divine. Jews and Muslims, on the other hand recognize Jesus as existing but see him as a human designated by God to carry forth his message as a prophet. Still others see Jesus as having no significant divine relation but instead as an influential human who was able to create a mass following by preaching a belief system centered on ideas of love and forgiveness."
