In this commentary of the Gospel of Luke, Bruce Larson focuses on the unusual timeliness of Luke's concern to show God's message for the poor, the lost and the broken, and his empathetic portrayal of the women who were so important in early Christian years. Every communicator of the Good News will find in his insights fresh resources and motivation for making that Good News irresistible. Volume 3 of the Communicator's Commentary series, combining rich resources of historical setting and textual interpretation with spiritual insights and contemporary illustrations.
This is one of my least favorite commentaries in this series. It is written in a different style than the others. The author turned his sermons into a book so it is a lot of stories versus actual commentary on the Biblical text.
I love this series generally, but this author spends more time giving application stories (that aren’t always great) than discussing the scriptures directly.
