Luke & the Acts of the Apostles with Br. Malachy

Luke’s desire is to show that Christianity belongs to the larger world of the Roman empire. For example, he links the birth of Jesus to the Emperor Caesar Augustus. Luke calls his work a narrative account, not a history; his gospel is a faith narrative, not a biography or history of Jesus Christ. Luke’s purpose is to show that what the church preaches is rooted in the ministry of Jesus and the preaching of the Apostles.

Luke provides authenticity of the Christian message by showing that the Holy Spirit has guided the entire process from the Old Testament through the ministry of Jesus and the development of the Church in the early Christian community.
