Description

This pocket-sized edition of Scripture contains the entire Gospel of Luke. Written for Christian gentiles of some social standing, Luke's Gospel is remarkable for its attention to the birth and early life of Jesus, containing such important events as the Annunciation and great liturgical prayers including the Magnificat and the Benedictus. Tradition holds that the Evangelist was a doctor and a companion of Paul and was also the author of the Acts of the Apostles.
