There are many ways to be lost in life, but the most serious is to be lost to God. Luke’s Gospel introduces us to the people who met Jesus, understood his message, and experienced his saving power.

What a delight to have David Peterson's commentary on Luke. Years of scholarly reflection, research, writing and teaching, put alongside Christ-honouring, life-changing preaching, are brilliantly distilled into one clarifying volume which makes sense of the text, and keeps the whole gospel and each part in brilliant balance. I'm thrilled to see this wonderful resource made available.
Here is an ordered, thoughtful, (technically) progressive, contextualised commentary which places Luke's gospel in the unfolding revelation of God, for his people and those seeking him. Luke himself would surely have approved.
This is yet another excellent work by accomplished Biblical scholar David Peterson. David has produced a commentary that will be helpful to those in full time ministry as well as to those lay folk (like me?) who need help in preparing the occasional expository talk. I have used the commentary and I commend it without reservation.
Peterson's scholarship is not flaunted, but it provides a solid bedrock to his immensely helpful Introduction, and to the comprehensive exposition that follows. He is well aware of divergent interpretations of the text, and conflicting views of its authenticity; but he gently and persuasively asserts an essentially conservative view of Scripture, informed by academic studies and by a broad understanding of church and cultural contexts.
