Luke: A 12-Week Study (C. D. "Jimmy" Agan III)

Description

The book of Luke is the most thorough historical account of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But Luke’s Gospel is more than just history; it’s also a rich source of life-giving theology, revealing Jesus’ identity as Israel’s long-awaited Messiah and the Redeemer of the world.

In this study, New Testament scholar Jimmy Agan III walks readers through Luke’s Gospel, helping Christians see that Jesus is not simply a great teacher but the great Savior.

Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:

• Ask thoughtful questions to spur discussion
• Show how each passage unveils the gospel
• Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
• Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
• Invite you to discover practical implications
• Help you better understand and apply God’s Word

“This Knowing the Bible series is a tremendous resource for those wanting to study and teach the Bible with an understanding of how the gospel is woven throughout Scripture. Here are Gospel-minded pastors and scholars doing Gospel business from all the scriptures—this is a biblical and theological feast preparing God’s people to apply the entire Bible to all of life with heart and mind wholly committed to Christ’s priorities.”

Bryan Chapell, Stated Clerk, Presbyterian Church in America

“Mark Twain may have smiled when he wrote to a friend, ‘I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long letter.’ But the truth of Twain’s remark remains serious and universal, because well-reasoned, compact writing requires extra time and extra hard work. And this is what we have in the Crossway Bible study series Knowing the Bible—as the skilled authors and notable editors provide the contours of each book of the Bible as well as the grand theological themes that bind them together as one Book. Here, in a 12-week format, are carefully wrought studies that will ignite the mind and the heart.”

R. Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois
