About this book
“Many of us learned Bible stories as children. When we revisit them later in life we bring a rich treasure of life experience that gives a depth and meaning to the stories.” — Macrina Scott, OSF
In the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, Macrina Scott gives special attention to what is most characteristic of Luke: his concern for the disadvantaged, especially women, the poor and cultural minorities, and his attention to prayer.
Twenty-four chapters revisit stories found only in Luke, such as the Good Samaritan, Mary and Martha, the Lost Coin and the Road to Emmaus, and follow the early Church from Pentecost to Paul’s journeys and imprisonment. Each reflection draws on modern scholarship and the author’s long experience as a religious educator.
Ideal for personal study or small groups, with step-by-step Scripture guides, questions for reflection and maps, and especially fruitful for readers who have finished raising children and building careers.
