Description

The Gospel According to St. Luke presents the most expansive narrative account of the life and ministry of Jesus in the enduring language of the King James Version.

Traditionally attributed to Luke, this Gospel offers a carefully ordered narrative shaped by theological reflection and historical consciousness. As the longest of the four canonical Gospels and the longest book of the New Testament, it situates the life of Jesus within a broader unfolding of divine purpose.

A central theme of Luke's account is salvation history-the conviction that God's redemptive work unfolds across time and through specific events. The Gospel emphasises mercy, repentance, and inclusion, recounting parables and episodes distinctive to Luke's telling, including the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. It presents Jesus as both compassionate teacher and fulfilment of promise, attentive to the marginalised and steadfast in mission.

The narrative culminates in the Passion and Resurrection, preparing the way for the continuation of the story in Acts. Presented here as a standalone volume in the measured and resonant prose of the 1611 King James translation, this edition preserves a Gospel that has long shaped Christian understanding of history, mercy, and divine purpose.
