Overview

Richard Jensen believes that preachers often tend to miss the central thrust of the good news story by getting too caught up in an analytical mentality that obscures its power and meaning, especially when listeners never hear the entire story because it's always told to them in bits and pieces. In these pages, Jensen approaches the Gospel of Luke with eyes wide open rather than with a microscope by treating it as a narrative whole. He covers material not included in the assigned lectionary texts and discusses the interrelatedness of Luke's stories, stressing that the gospel stories are powerful by themselves and that they work without much explanation. Jensen's research and insights provide a stimulating resource not only for preachers, but also for any serious student of Luke's Gospel. Going beyond mere academic commentary, Jensen provides Homiletical Directions in each chapter which locate themes for preaching the text.
