Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truths to his/her life. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand the gospel of Luke in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse by verse. This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects.

Luke is the most pluralistic of the gospels, making it tailor-made for the modern world.…
