The Gospel of Luke contains many well-known narratives from the New Testament, such as the Christmas story, the Magnificat of Mary, and numerous miracles and parables. The evangelist presents a unique portrayal of the Jesus tradition: Jesus Christ is the true Savior who particularly reaches out to those on the margins. The book includes a complete new translation of the Greek text, which stays close to the original text and is presented in meaningful units. Detlev Dormeyer provides a concise commentary on each pericope. Important theological, literary, and social-historical terms are explained.
