| In this new volume in the Interpretation series, master preacher Fred Craddock opens Luke's gospel to other preachers and teachers. Using Luke's own prologue as a guiding outline, Craddock pays special attention to the sequence of Luke's ''orderly account,'' particularly bringing out the continuities between Jesus and his heritage in Judaism and the church after him. |

| Luke the Evangelist wrote his gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, which account for nearly one quarter of the New Testament. In his gospel, Luke continually stresses God's blessings for the poor and the subtle dangers of wealth. Likewise, he underscores that acceptance of the gospel means rejecting the worldly standards of success. "He portrays with particular tenderness the striking difference between the proud Pharisee and the humble tax collector at prayer," writes Henry Wansbrough. And he "stresses above all that we are all sinners in need of repentance on our part, and forgiveness on God's." This Daily Bible Commentary takes a thoughtful journey through Luke's gospel that will lead the reader closer to the merciful Savior Luke depicts. |

| Apart from the apostle Paul, Luke is arguably the most influential force in the canon of the New Testament. His Gospel and Acts occupy almost a third of the New Testament. Marshall provides us with a lucid guide to Luke's theology of salvation as it is unfurled in Gospel narrative, but always with an eye on its ongoing development in his companion work, the Acts of the Apostles. |

| The series continues - a series that answers the questions students of the Bible ask most. An eight-step approach leads the reader from the introduction with contemporary illustrations, through verse-by-verse commentary, to a conclusion and life application. "Deeper Discoveries" help the reader understand the most important words, phrases, and teaching of each chapter. A teaching outline helps the reader to internalize what has been read, organize its message, and prepare to share it with others. The "Final Issues for Discussion" section brings closure to the reader's study. A closing prayer personalizes the study and commits the reader to live out the truths studied |

| Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today. |
