Open Door on Luke

Synopsis

In celebration of 900 years of church life and half way through the decade of Evangelism, Bishop Peter has decided to take Luke as his traveling companion around the Norwich Diocese. This provides us with an opportunity to get to know Luke's gospel better.

Extract (Aim of Luke's Gospel)

Luke is totally open with Theophilus: a Greek outsider, but a friend of God. (Theophilus means God friend). His gospel is for those who love God but not institutionalised religion which is confined to a ghetto by fear. Luke opens his gospel in a cultured way. He is aiming at an intelligent public with enquiring minds. Others have entered the field, but Luke feels he says something by telling the story in such a way so that those on the fringe will be drawn in.
