Question
Hi,
Could you please help me understand the importance of Luke's Gospel and is the Gospel of Luke unique. If so, how?

Thank-you, kind regards
Em.


Answer
Peace

dear Emily,
  St. Luke's gospel is unique in the fact it was the only one written by a non-Jew. He writes in great details compared to the others, so that non-Jewish can understand the "Jewish" things about our Lord.
  
   Tradition say St. Luke was converted by the witness of St Paul.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
