About the author

Kay Lee Arthur was an American Christian author, Bible teacher, and co-founder of Precept Ministries International. Renowned for her accessible and inductive approach to Bible study, she helped millions engage deeply with Scripture. Arthur began her ministry informally, teaching teenagers in her living room alongside her second husband, Jack Arthur. Their work soon grew into a global outreach, headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under the name Precept Ministries International. She hosted the daily Bible teaching program Precepts for Life and became a respected voice in evangelical circles. Arthur authored numerous books and was a four-time winner of the ECPA Christian Book Award for titles such as A Marriage Without Regrets and The New Inductive Study Bible. Her ministry was rooted in a personal reawakening to faith in the early 1960s, following a divorce and a return to religious life. She and Jack also served briefly as missionaries in Mexico before founding their ministry. Arthur remained active in public faith-based initiatives into her later years and was known for her firm stances on social issues. She passed away on 2025 leaving behind a lasting legacy in Christian education and publishing.

Reviews

[Kristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

This feels like an early entry in this series, as it wasn't in depth and lacked the breadth of cross-referencing some of the later books contain. That being said, still a decent overview study of Luke with good pacing

[Hope · Rating 4 out of 5]

Inductive Bible study is the best way I know to "let the Word of God dwell in you richly." Reading the book of Luke for 13 weeks required slow and careful reading of the text - focusing on two chapters per week. Worth the effort.

Intense study of the book of Luke! This is truly a Bible STUDY and not a devotional. If you want to learn the Bible and not just someone's interpretation of scriptures, I would strongly recommend this book. I'm looking forward to my next Kay Arthur study!
