LUKE AND LIFE Volume 1: My Take on Luke's Teaching with 200 Tales of Trying to Live It! - Paperback

by Dave Gable (Author)

These two volumes of Luke and Life contain a unique commentary on the Gospel of Luke, both academic and accessible.
It is academic in that careful study has been given to present the rich nuances of Luke's wide vocabulary, the way he uses words and stories to convey meaning, with a background of the culture of the times;
It is accessible in that it is non-technical, written in the casual vocabulary of the conversation around the office water cooler. A full Greek/English interlinear is included as a base, an attempt to de-mystify the use of the original language and show its impact on the meaning of the Message.
Luke and Life is new kind of communication about the Bible.

• It is fun enough so that if you have even casual interest in the Gospel of Luke, you read about a verse, and say, "Wow--wonder what happens next?" And keep reading.
• It is scholarly enough (checking every significant Greek word, in every verse!) to be used as a text for a college class in the Gospels.
• And then, the 200 life stories! You say, "So this is what it's like to try to live it out these days! Where's his next story?"

The remarkable addition is over 200 applicational tales, rants, and teachings, ranging from the heart-warming to the hilarious. These rise from a ministry career at the Assemblies of God national, state, and local levels during the millennium shift from traditional to Post Modern styles and values, applying the text of Luke to current life.
