The [[gospel]] according [[Apostle Luke|Luke]] is the third book of the [[New Testament]]. It tells the story of [[Jesus]]' life, death, and resurrection. The story told in Luke is continued by the same author in the sequel the [[Acts of the Apostles]].==Quotes==
The author's name is not recorded anywhere in the gospel. Early Christian writings such as the [[Muratorian Canon]] and the works of [[Orenaeus]] name Luke as the author. Further evidence can be taken from the [[Book of Acts]], which is the continuation or companion book of the gospel of Luke, written by the same author. In Acts, the writer uses the pronoun "we" suggesting that the author was a companion of [[Apostle Paul|Paul]]. ===Recipient=== The gospel is addressed to [[Theophilus]] ([[Luke 1:3]]). Theophilus may have been a Roman official. ===Date and place of writing=== Two possible suggestions for the date of writing are between [[59 AD|59]] and [[63 AD]], or around [[80 AD]]. ===Purpose and themes=== ==Links=={{returnto}} [[New TestamentBible]]
