The classic elegance of the leather binding adds a touch of sophistication, making it an exquisite addition to any collection.The Gospel of Luke, a significant portion of the New Testament, recounts the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Coupled with the Acts of the Apostles, it constitutes the two-volume work Luke–Acts, making up about 27.5% of the New Testament. This narrative divides first-century Christianity into three stages, with the Gospel focusing on the life of Jesus from birth to the commencement of his mission, encompassing events like the Sermon on the Plain and his Passion. Scholars identify the main sources as the Gospel of Mark, the Q source, and distinct material in Luke. Although the author is anonymous, the traditional view linking Luke to Paul faces skepticism due to contradictions between Acts and Pauline letters. The Gospel's likely composition date is around AD 80–110, with evidence of ongoing revisions into the 2nd century.
