The four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark , Luke and John enjoy particular honor in our Church, because they were tasked with writing the four Gospels, which are the four pillars on which are Christian faith is supported, together with the other books of the New Testament and our sacred Tradition. Here we shall be dealing with Saint Luke. He came from Antioch, in Syria and was of Greek descent. He was very well-educated and a doctor by profession. He spoke excellent Greek, as well as Hebrew. This is clear from his writings- the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles- from which it’s clear that no other writer in the New Testament can equal the elegance of his style. He was, ...

Don’t you dare scorn people because they’re sinners. And don’t be vindictive, because that will only worsen their wounds. Far better to advise them in such a way that they can either cease their wickedness or at least try and keep it within bounds.
Saint Luke the Evangelist came from Antioch the Great in Syria, was a doctor by profession and an excellent artist. At the time of the Emperor Claudius, he was in Thebes, Boeotia, practising medicine. It was here that he met Saint Paul and, after he had come to believe in Christ he abandoned idolatry, the folly of his ancestors. He also ceased to be concerned with medicine, that is healing bodies, and dedicated himself to preaching the Gospel, in order to bring souls onto the path of salvation and redemption. Apart from oral preaching, Saint Luke also wrote, at Saint Paul’s dictation, the Gospel which bears his name, which he sent to some high official called Theophilos, who also believed in Christ. ...
It has become a commonplace of for critics to suggest doubts about the authorship of Luke’s Gospel and the Book of Acts. Such doubts are, however, clearly unfounded. The evidence is conclusive that both treatises were written by a physician, and Luke was “the beloved physician” (Col. 4:14 ) who wrote them. Both books demonstrate a knowledge of medicine and in both there are clear signs of medical diction. It is Luke’s Gospel that gives us a clear picture of Christ as the Divine physician, and redemption as a healing process. The reign (“kingdom”) of God is proclaimed through the healing of the divisions and wounds in the fallen human nature. The human person is treated as a “whole being,” ...
