Luke provides an orderly account of the life of Jesus that helps people understand that his death and resurrection are good news. This redemptive-historical commentary enlarges on that theme.
Philip Graham Ryken is Senior Minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he has preached since 1995. He is Bible Teacher for the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, speaking nationally on the radio program Every Last Word. Dr. Ryken was educated at Wheaton College (IL), Westminster Theological Seminary (PA) and the University of Oxford (UK), from which he received his doctorate in historical theology. He lives with his wife (Lisa) and children (Joshua, Kirsten, Jack, Kathryn, and Karoline) in Center City, Philadelphia. When he is not preaching or spending time with his family, he likes to read books, play sports, and ponder the relationship between Christian faith and American culture. He has written or edited more than twenty books, including Bible commentaries on Exodus, Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Galatians.
I am using this commentary as I am going through Luke in my personal study as well as leading a small group Bible study. It is excellent. I highly recommend it to any serious student of the Bible. It is perfect for lay people, Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, etc. I look forward to purchasing more volumes in the Reformed Expository series.
using this as my daily devotional....great way to start a day! Enjoy Ryken's illustrations & applications. Makes me really think about this gospel of "knowing for sure".
