Bible Study of the Gospel of Luke
A six-week study of the Gospel of Luke, led by Pete Fleming, began on Tuesday, April 25th. This study meets on Tuesday mornings through June 6th (there is no class meeting on May 9th) from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in room F145, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center. Pete has
led many studies of Luke over the past 40 years.
The 3rd Gospel provides a unique view of the ministry of
Jesus. Luke mentions prayer, women, the Holy Spirit, and the poor more than any
other gospel. The Good Samaritan and several other parables appear only in Luke.
The Infancy Narrative in Chapters 1 and 2 is a classic in ancient story
telling. The Greek used in Luke is said to be the finest in all the New
Testament.
All are invited to join us as we explore the authorship,
timing, possible location, meaning, and unique nature of this Gospel and its
importance to the church today. No books are required and we will use the
Gospel as our primary source, any translation you prefer. Every class time will
allow for individual input and group discussion. Please contact Tracy Brinker
by e-mail at tbrinker@duluthumc.org for more information.
