Richard Rohr shares his excitement and understanding of Luke's Gospel message for today's reader. Grounded in scholarship but accessible to a general audience, this commentary sheds light on the main themes of Luke's Gospel. In simple terms he works through each theme in a twofold way.

As an experienced retreat master, and through his many journeys to other countries and cultures, especially in Africa and Latin America, Fr. Rohr has a fascinating perspective to share that can nourish and inspire both individual readers and the church at large.
