The Purpose of the Gospel of Luke

Because the Bible is being considered as a religious book, some people doubt its authenticity. While it is always good to start with doubt, especially in today's world of scams and AI-generated images and videos, it should not stop us to investigate and seek the truth.

Luke, the author of the Gospel of Luke, was aware of his readers who may not believe in his accounts of Jesus, and so started the book, with an explanation of the background then and the purpose.

The Gospel of Luke is thought to have been written between 100 and 175 C.E.

The earliest manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke are five papyrus fragments that date back to the late second or early third century. 


So, we can have much confidence that the Gospel of Luke is a true recording of the life stories of Jesus.

If that we so, we must study and understand the message of Luke and examine our beliefs.
