Course description: The connection between the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles can sometimes get lost when we are studying Scripture. They are a two-volume work written by Saint Luke the Evangelist that, when read together, open up insights into the life of Christ and the Early Church that are not clear any other way. Saint Luke offers us a view into the life of Christ and the Church that is unique to him and of great benefit to us. These works contain many beloved parables of Jesus not found anywhere else, and first-hand accounts of the adventures of Peter and Paul as the Church began. We will also look at some unique things that Luke focuses on that no other Gospel writer does, such as the importance of meals in the ministry of Jesus and the role of the women who followed him. Students taking this class will gain a more holistic view of how Christ and the Church are intricately connected.
