Business Law: The Case of Luke Cool, 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that the likelihood of Luke Cool's receiving damages in this case depends on whether the actions of Super Bikes and La Brute Manufacturing can be described as having been executed using "reasonable care". The author points out that Luke may be entitled to both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages from La Brute; however, Luke will likely only receive pecuniary damages in his suit against Super Bikes, as in contract law recovery of non-pecuniary damages is very rare. The paper concludes that, given that Luke was extraordinarily negligent in this case by not only continuing to ride the bike knowing it had a dangerous flaw, but also by riding on a difficult path and without a safety helmet, it is likely that his award in this case will be reduced significantly.
From the Paper
"Luke would have no likelihood of successfully suing the employee of Super Bikes who sold him the bike, or the employee who told him to return another day as the part was not in stock, as the law generally distinguishes between those who have a contractual obligation to perform, and those who may due the actual work. While he may sue the employees on the basis of tort of negligence, this is unlikely to be successful due to negligence being defined in the law as failure to show "reasonable care"."

Outline
The Writing of Luke
The Occasion and Purpose of the Work
The Themes of Luke
Luke the Author, the Greek and the Believer
From the Paper
"Luke was written meticulously based on several sources, including discussions with the disciples, study of the book of Q, and interviews with Mary and Joanna that he could have done while travelling with Paul (Riley 1). A number of scholars also maintain that the book is based on Mark?s. One thing is certain?historically, Luke?s writing is an accurate one. It should come as no surprise, then, that the most obvious purpose of the book of Luke is, as the author himself states in the beginning, ?to write an orderly account for you?so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.? The ?you? most immediately refers to the official Theophilus who, as a wealthy citizen, could have been Luke?s benefactor. Luke ?wants Theophilus to know that faith in Jesus rests on historical facts that stand up under the most severe scrutiny, founded as they are on firsthand testimony? (Elwell 101)."

Abstract
"The Gospel of Luke", the third of the four Gospels in the New Testament, tells the story of Jesus' life, death, and of his resurrection. While the text of the Gospel does not directly name the author, traditional wisdom has it that it was written by Luke, who was a follower of Paul, the author of "The Acts of the Apostles". The author indicates that while he was not a direct witness to Jesus' life, he is a chronicler of all that had been written and said about Him and created a narrative of the facts of His life (Luke 1:1-4). "The Gospel of Luke" focuses intently upon the actual historic order of events from the birth of John and the future coming of Jesus Christ in prophecy. Spiritually, the Gospel of Luke focuses intently upon the concept of the suffering Savior and of the saintly life, and of tolerance (mercy). It is the purpose of this paper to explore the "Gospel of Luke" in the New Testament and to observe his instructions on suffering and mercy.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke, 2005.
This paper discusses the literary and theological devices used to describe the death of Jesus, according to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Abstract
This paper explains that the description of Jesus as the merciful messiah is especially prevalent in the Gospel of Luke, as he emphasizes the power of forgiveness; whereas, Matthew, whose account is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, highlights the wisdom and justice of Jesus's teachings. The author points out that the question of the sources for the Gospels of Luke and Matthew has been debated often, with most scholars leaning towards the two-source hypothesis. A manuscript of Jesus's axioms and sayings, often referred to as the "Q" source, which would have served as a source for both Luke and Matthew or an earlier version of Mark's gospel. The paper relates that the story of the death of Jesus illustrates Jesus's failure to see that the connection between Jesus's and humanity's relationship with God leads to his persecution and subsequent death; however, in his death, mankind finds salvation and the opportunity to once again discover and enter into a covenant with God.
From the Paper
"Jesus as the suffering servant is an overarching theme that is especially characteristic of Matthew's account of the death of Jesus but also found within Luke's gospel. When the Roman soldiers deride Jesus as the "King of the Jews" and give him a mock robe, crown, and in Matthew's gospel a scepter, Jesus suffers just as the real King of the Jews in Psalm 22. The continued mockery by the crowd also fulfills Psalm 22 as it reflects the two charges against Jesus: the threat to destroy the temple and the claim to be the Son of God or Messiah. Even Jesus' last words continue to illustrate the theme of a righteous sufferer, as they are a direct quotation of Psalm 22:1. Furthermore, the rejection of Jesus, who is essentially God's prophet, is done by the entire leadership of Israel, a clear allusion to the prophets of the Old Testament who were similarly persecuted by their own people. Jesus' response to the charges by the Sanhedrin is also remarkably similar to Jeremiah's testimony when he was on trial."l

Mark and Luke, 2007.
A comparative analysis of the gospels of Mark and Luke.
1,917 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the gospels of Mark and Luke in the area of literal rather than allegorical content, through the development of the similarities and differences of the messages. The main focus of the contrast and comparison is the humanity of the messages. It discusses how in Mark many of the key definitive situations that develop the history of the characters of the Bible, such as Mary, Elisabeth, John the Baptist and even Jesus himself are missing, removing the divine from the story, while in Luke these stories are clear. The story of John the Baptist's conception as well as Jesus' conception and birth are two examples of this difference.
From the Paper
" The first and possibly the most profound difference between the gospels of Mark and Luke can be found within the very first pages of the works. They both tell the story of John the Baptist, but Mark begins his life in the work as he is during the late life of Jesus, while Luke introduces John through an introduction to his fantastic family history, in some ways as fantastic as the conception and history of Jesus himself. In Mark nearly the first passage indicates that John has come upon the scene as a man, whole and with no miraculous history, Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Abstract
This paper looks at the stories behind the disciples Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as portrayed in the gospels. It discusses how Matthew was a tax collector before he became a disciple of Jesus and how he gave up everything, how Mark was discovered by Peter, how Luke was believed to be a physician and an evangelist and finally how many believe that John was Jesus' cousin.
From the Paper
"Many historians agree that Luke wrote his for the Greek audience and that the book was written around 60 AD. Halley observes that much of Greek culture revolved around culture, philosophy, and education, Luke to a philosophic approach to writing his book. According to Halley, Luke's Gospel is a completely "orderly, and classical story" (Halley 485). MacArthur adds that in this Gospel, we can see Luke's petition to the Greeks because Luke "usually preferred Greek terminology over Hebraisms" (MacArthur 289). Moreover, it is important to note that Luke reinforces the "universal scope of the gospel invitation" (289). Bryant backs up this notion adding that Luke's Gospel is called a "Gospel of the nations, full of mercy and hope, assured to the world by the love of a suffering Savior" (Bryant 392)."

A review of the gospel of Luke.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the gospel of Luke which deals with the birth, life and resurrection of Jesus. According to the paper, there are certain passages that have special meaning. This paper focuses specifically on these chapters.
From the Paper
"Firstly, the focal points that are mentioned relate to the authority with which the apostles were invested by Jesus. They have been given the "power and authority over all demons". (Luke, 9: 1) This idea however is seen before in the Gospel of Luke. Thus, the theme of exorcising demons is present also in Luke 4:33-37, which presents Jesus and one of His Acts in a synagogue "And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him and hurt him not at all." (Luke, 4:35) Similarly, the idea is present in Luke 8: 26-39. In Luke 9:1, the apostles were invested with the same authority. This comes to prove that which proves that the passage can be interpreted as being a connection between different dispersed passages from the Gospel."

'Moving Chairs, and Why It's Cool' by Timothy J. King", 2006.

Abstract
In this paper, King proposes healthy and communicative responses to management strata relationships that were successful within his own experiences. According to the paper, King's view is that the use of dialogues and meetings is a crucial for efficient production, which invariably offers a revolving leadership system through his is symbolic usage of moving chairs. However, more studies should be done to evaluate the real effectiveness of this form of leadership before one should confront the authority of middle and upper management.
From the Paper
J. Timothy King provides an article that is based upon the "moving chairs" of leadership within a small sized corporate atmosphere. The first premise of leadership is many things go unnoticed, especially when communicating a change in management policy. King is often portraying himself in the article as a subordinate that has to work with upper management through a review based initiative that is often erroneous. However, King brings the moving chair element into communicating with his superiors within the review process, which ultimately has him influencing how policy is made within the company. In this manner, King is subjectively redefining the hierarchical role of worker/manager by breaking down barriers through communication and regular meetings. "

Tthe Gospels of Matthew and Luke, 2002.
An examination of the effect of historical background on an interpretation of the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Abstract
This essay will argue that understanding the setting of the gospels is of great importance to understanding the Christian message that they are attempting to preserve and spread. This, it may be argued, is due to the fact that the gospels are not purely imaginative literature. Instead, like histories they are engaged with contemporary events and controversies - particularly theological controversies within the early Church - in a very direct way. From this point of view, as the gospels have elements of both the literary and the historical forms of writing, a knowledge of their historical background contributes to our understanding of the texts and their messages.

The Gospel Of Luke, 1977.

From the Paper
The purpose of this research is to examine the meaning of the Gospel of Luke. Floyd V. Filson, in his Opening the New Testament, says that the meaning of the Gospel cannot be understood unless one first briefly explores the reason the man Luke had in writing it. This reason is found immediately in the Gospel itself. Luke's purpose is to tell very clearly, accurately and in order the story that the eyewitness companions of Jesus had delivered to the Church. Luke had not been a companion of Jesus, and Luke states plainly that he was not the first to write down the gospel story. He intended to write a fuller story, extending from the birth of Jesus to the end of Paul's career. He knows the writings of the earlier gospelers, and he uses them as far as they help him.
Luke, however, was not limited to the written records. He ... "

The Speeches of Jesus and Stephen in the "Book of Luke", 2000.
Comparison and analysis of the speeches of Jesus and Stephen in the "Book of Luke".

Abstract
This paper presents a comparison and rhetorical analysis of the speeches of Jesus and Stephen which shows that the purpose of both speeches harmonizes, but their structures differ to some degree.
From the Paper
"Typical of Greco-Roman literature of the history genre, Luke fills approximately one fourth of his books with speeches. Like other Greco-Roman historians, Luke could not have actually heard the speeches that he recorded, nor could he even accurately know the contents of such speeches, if they occurred. Indeed, Luke writes more than 50 years after the death of Jesus; not only is Luke not contemporary to the events that he records as if he were immediately physically present, but most others contemporary to the event, potential eye-witnesses, are also dead (Ehrman 44). Luke, therefore, contrived the text of the speeches presented in Luke-Acts; in his capacity as a historian, Luke strove for a sense of verisimilitude. Thus, the speeches recorded in Luke-Acts, written to reflect Luke?s estimation of the character of the speaker and the occasion, reveal Luke?s literary purpose as much as they reveal actual historical information. Jesus? speech in the Nazarene synagogue, as well as Stephen?s speech before the Sanhedrin, serve to advance Luke?s perception of Jesus: the rejected prophet. Luke implicitly compares Stephen to Jesus to validate the mission to the Gentiles, which had become the focus of the Apostles. The speeches of Jesus and Stephen do differ, in certain respects, in structure. However, the purposes of each speech ultimately harmonize; Luke employs different structures for disparate actors to achieve a common function."
