Morris' treatment of the third Gospel is characterized by precision, balance, and fairness to alternative points of view. Writing from a conservative evangelical position, the author is careful to incorporate the findings of the latest biblical scholarship while refraining from polemic. A substantial introduction, treating the relationship between the first three Gospels, is followed by a verse-by-verse commentary on the text of Luke. Also included is a brief section on the language of the original, and a more extended discussion of Luke as a theologian. As an appendix, Morris provides a table of parallel passages in the other Synoptics, enabling the reader to see at a glance what material is peculiar to Luke. Marked by thorough scholarship, yet easily readable, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE will be welcomed by ministers, teachers, and laymen as a convenient and useful reference work. [via]
