Gospel of Luke Leader Guide

What's special about the Gospel of Luke?

In this gospel, Jesus proclaims God’s reign, heals those who are sick, raises some from the dead, casts out oppressive spirits, restores to people to society, and teaches his followers through vivid parables.

When you download this Bible study leader guide from Enter the Bible, you'll receive insights on key passages as well as discussion questions to lead a four-week study.

This leader guide is informed by the scholarship of Dr. Matthew L. Skinner, Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary.

What’s Inside

This guide introduces you to the Gospel of Luke and can be adapted to suit your group's needs. With the resources below, you'll have the info and inspiration to lead with confidence.

Find commentaries on distinctive passages in the Gospel of Luke including Mary's Magnificat and birth narrative (Luke 1-2), Jesus' distinctive parables (Luke 12 & 15), and Jesus' resurrection appearnaces (Luke 24).
