This book offers fresh insights for those who want to reflect on Luke’s Gospel as it is read and preached within the Christian Churches. It is the second in a series exploring each Gospel in the three-year cycle of the Lectionary.

Journeying with Luke is

• a source of background information
• a way to greater understanding, prayer and action inspired by the teachings of Jesus
• a springboard for the imagination, helping us to visualize the lives, times and culture of first-century Israel
• a guide to reflection for those preparing to hear (or preach) the word of God

This volume pays special attention to the particular character of Luke’s writing – his use of story and song, and the importance of themes such as travel, mission and the outsider, and the relationship between the Gospel and the Book of Acts. With a blend of imagination, scholarship and pastoral wisdom, it will inspire worship and everyday discipleship throughout the Christian year.
