A Study of the Gospel of Luke (Print)

A Study of the Gospel of Luke: Reaching the Outsiders, by Charles Speer.

This exegetical, commentary style book was developed from the video recordings and extensive notes of Charles Speer, who taught the Gospel of Luke for many years at Sunset International Bible Institute. It was then transcribed, edited and approved by the author himself. Digital and DVD versions of Luke being taught in the classroom are also available; see the links below.

FROM THE AUTHOR: “This book is dedicated to all the “outcasts” whom Jesus has embraced and invited into His kingdom. Together we are transformed by seeing the Jesus Luke presented. We, like the ‘outcasts’ whom Jesus pursued in His ministry, are privileged to be sons of the kingdom with the Son of God.”
