Luke is one of the synoptic gospels. It was written by Luke and it starts with the foretelling of the birth of John the Baptist. It records the appearance of Gabriel to Mary, the birth of Jesus, the angels appearing to the shepherds, Jesus' dedication in the temple, and his trip to Jerusalem when he was twelve. Luke records Jesus ministry with a special emphasis on the parables he told, and the many healings he performed. Luke's gospel is seen by many as the "social gospel" as it shows how Jesus ministered to the poor, the needy, the "sinners", and those on the fringe of society. Development of this theme is referred to as the "great reversal," whereby God is setting things right by overturning the rich and powerful while empowering the poor and downtrodden. The gospel according to Luke concludes with the ascension. Luke also wrote the book of Acts which starts with the ascension and continues with the history of the early church. This category is for Bible studies on the book of Luke.
