Luke never met Jesus. Luke’s was a belief built on the power of faith.
In Luke’s Story, we follow him as he rises from Greek slave to university-educated physician. Luke is intrigued but skeptical when he hears tales of a man named Jesus who reportedly performs great miracles of healing. But the dramatic story of the conversion and redemption of Saul, now called Paul, and the miraculous healing of one of his own patients by prayer, irreversibly changes Luke’s spiritual life. He pledges himself to Christ and makes the choice to write a Gospel based on years of questioning believers about their conversions and listening to stories of the Lord’s life from those who knew Him: the disciples who spent three years with Jesus, and most important, His mother, Mary.

      Robertson Dean's spellbinding performance makes this fictionalized account of the life of Luke especially believable. Dean captures the culture and spirit of a slave named Loukon, later known as Luke in the New Testament gospels, who lived in Syrian Antioch in 20 AD. Dean portrays Theophilus, Loukon's kind owner, with compassion as he agrees to pay the teen's tuition to school to learn medicine. Dean's depiction of Loukan's meeting with the heretical killer Saul, later known as the Apostle Paul, on the road to Damascus, is dramatic and believable. Seamless dialogues between Paul and Luke and later on between Jesus's mother, Mary, and Luke are powerfully characterized. Dean brings the ancient Mediterranean biblical world to life. G.D.W.

      Authors of the highly successful Left Behind series of apocalyptic novels, pastor LaHaye and author Jenkins base their stories on Christian scripture. Their latest religious fiction project examines the era and story of Jesus Christ by constructing accounts of each Gospel writer's life. This volume of The Jesus Chronicles
      recounts the life story of the author of the Gospel of Luke. Luke, born as Loukon into a family of slaves, earns the respect of his master, Theophilus, as a child and is sent to the university in Tarsus to study medicine. From this point on, the plot, unfortunately, becomes contrived. While at school, Luke meets Saul, an arrogant fellow student who later becomes known as Paul after his conversion. Luke develops a hobby of writing stories and eventually composes his gospel at the feet of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who, while old and somewhat feeble, is able to recall the exact words her son spoke 20 years before. Fans of the authors' earlier work will likely appreciate this account, but it is unlikely to win any converts.
