The Gospel of Luke: A Reflective Commentary

Denis McBride brings a notable power of popular exposition to bear upon the Gospel ... The language is consistently fresh and contemporary ... a real pleasure to read ... a god-send for students and anyone seeking an introduction to Luke.' Doctrine and Life. Denis McBride, C.Ss.R., lectures in Scripture at the Hawkstone Hall International Study Centre, near Shrewsbury, England. He recognises that down the ages Luke's Gospel account has moved many people, who welcomed as good news the picture of Jesus as one who clearly favours the vulnerable of this world, the outcasts, those who find them- selves outside the boundaries of religious or social approval. This commentary sets out to echo these values. It attempts to combine scholarship with meditation in the hope that a reflective understanding will be born of the alliance.
