Gospel Figures

Luke

One of the gospels and the Book of Acts are attributed to a writer by the name of Luke. While we don't know a great deal about him, bits from the New Testament, combined with tradition and some careful conjecture may provide us a partially accurate portrait of the man. Unlike the other gospel authors, he was almost certainly a Gentile, and it may also be that, having been converted to Christ, Luke joined Paul's missionary band as a personal physician to Paul.

Many of the Bible's figures of importance appear in other sections of this site, (e.g. Biography >> Kings, Prophets, Apostles, etc.).

However, there is another group of important individuals who do not fit the other categories, and are therefore listed here. These include both Gospel writers and important characters portrayed in the scriptures.
