Luke may refer to:
The Acts of the Apostles (Ancient Greek: Πράξεις τῶν Ἀποστόλων, Práxeis tôn Apostólōn; Latin: Āctūs Apostolōrum), often referred to simply as Acts, is the fifth book of the New Testament; it tells of the founding of the Christian church and the spread of its message to the Roman empire.
Acts and the Gospel of Luke make up a two-part work, Luke–Acts, by the same anonymous author, usually dated to around 80-90 AD. The first part, the Gospel of Luke, tells how God fulfilled his plan for the world's salvation through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah. Acts continues the story of Christianity in the 1st century, beginning with Jesus' Ascension to Heaven. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, describe the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit) and the growth of the church in Jerusalem. Initially the Jews are receptive to the Christian message, but soon they turn against the followers of Jesus. Rejected by the Jews, under the guidance of the Apostle Peter the message is taken to the Gentiles. The later chapters tell of Paul's conversion, his mission in Asia Minor and the Aegean, and finally his imprisonment in Rome, where, as the book ends, he awaits trial.

Last in the NT authorship series for the four Gospels. This time we look at evidence and arguments regarding Luke-Acts.
Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) Luke and Acts, a two-volume work, are structured very carefully by the author to outline the ministry of Jesus and the spread of the Gospel to the gentiles. The Gospel of Luke emphasizes the themes of Jesus' Jewish piety, his role as a rejected prophet, and the reversal of earthly status. The Gospel ends in Jerusalem, and the Acts of the Apostles begins there and then follows the spread of the Gospel, both conceptually and geographically, to Samaria and the gentiles. By closely analyzing the Gospel and Acts, we see that the author was not concerned with historicity or chronological order. Rather, he writes his "orderly account" to illustrate the rejection of the Gospel by the Jews and its consequent spread to the gentiles. 00:00 - Chapter 1. T...
Dr Darrell Bock speaks on 'The Restoration of Israel in Luke-Acts' at Chosen People Ministries (UK)'s conference: Israel and the Church - a common heritage and an uncertain future. London, , 8-9 October 2010..
Leading New Testament scholar Darrell L. Bock, author of "A Theology of Luke and Acts" chats with Mark L. Strauss in this clip (3 of 5) about key topics related to his highly anticipated new work. "A Theology of Luke and Acts" explores the theology of Luke's gospel and the book of Acts. In his biblical writings, Luke records the story of God working through Jesus to usher in a new era of promise and Spirit-enablement so that the people of God can be God's people even in the midst of a hostile world. It is a message that still fits the church today. Bock both covers major Lukan themes and sets forth the distinctive contribution of the Luke-Acts collection to the New Testament and the canon of Scripture, providing readers with an in-depth and holistic grasp of Lukan theology in the larger co...
When was Luke-Acts written? This video answers the question as well as explains how we know! This new series is more of a basic introduction and will be used mostly as sources in later series of mine where I go more in depth with analyzing the texts of early Christianity and when I theorize about early Christian history. This still is, however, a good starting place for many interested in learning about early Christianity.

Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) The speech that Stephen gives before his accusers in Acts shows how the author of Luke-Acts used and edited his sources. So, also, does the description of the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke, as compared to that in Mark. The major themes of Luke-Acts are 1) the Gospel going first to the Jews and then to gentiles and 2) that of the prophet-martyr, with Jesus as the prophet-martyr par excellence. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Sparks fly live on air as Rabbi Tovia Singer destroys the Christian assertion that Jesus predicted that the Temple would be utterly destroyed (Matthew 24; Luke 2). Moreover, why would the messiah predict the destruction of the Temple? Furthermore, Rabbi Singer demonstrates that the author Luke/Acts was written long after the destruction of the Second Temple; accordingly the Gospel writers inserted events which they were very familiar into the mouth of Jesus. Moreover, Singer illustrates that the martyrdom of Jesus' Apostles, which is largely taken for granted by evangelical Christians, was a second century myth. https://outreachjudaism.org/ http://www.toviasinger.tv/
