The gospel of Luke gives us one of the most detailed accounts of the life of Christ. It presents a unique perspective on Jesus and those surrounding Him during His time on earth and expresses an unusual sensitivity to the weak and poor. But who was the writer of this book, this man called Luke—a man attributed as a physician, evangelist, and traveler?
