Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary: Luke

About the Volume

The Gospel of Luke is full of reversal statements, such as the last are first and the first, last (13:30). These reversals are also shown with how Jesus ministered to others, such as women and children being received as freely as men. With a focus on the Gospel of Luke’s reversals and the importance of the temple, you can see that Jesus comes to fulfill all that God promised to do in and through the temple.
