Liv Lik la ansanm ak Travay Apot yo fòme yon liv an de pati ki rakonte lavi, ministè, lanmò, ak rezirèksyon Jezi, epi kòmansman Legliz la. Lik te ekri liv la an bèl lang grèk, e li itilize stil istoryografi grèk-womèn pou bay plis kredibilite.
Levanjil sa mete aksan sou delivrans pou tout moun, jistis sosyal, epi sousi pou moun pòv ak moun yo mete sou kote. Jezi parèt kòm Mesi Sentespri a chwazi, ki gen konpasyon, e ki vin sove tout limanite—Juif ak moun lòt nasyon.
Otè a ekri pou yon piblik ki te edike, ki te abite nan vil grèk-womèn, petèt nan zòn Antiòch oswa Efèz. Pifò ekspè panse Lik te ekri ant ane 80 ak 90 apre Jezi, men gen lòt ki panse li te ekri pi ta (ant 110–120). Lik mete anpil enpòtans sou lapriyè, travay Sentespri a, ak mizèrikòd Bondye.
Parabòl tankou Pitit Gason Pèdi a ak Bon Samariten an montre jan Jezi pote padon ak lanmou pou tout moun. Liv la montre otorite womèn yo sou yon fason ki pa agresif, petèt pou montre ke kretyen pa t’ reprezante danje pou gouvènman. Kontinwite ki genyen ant Levanjil Lik ak liv Travay yo montre ke misyon Jezi a kontinye nan Legliz la.
Summary in English
The Gospel of Luke, paired with Acts, forms a two-volume work that presents a comprehensive account of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, resurrection, and the early Church. Written in polished Greek and influenced by Greco-Roman historiography, Luke emphasizes themes of universal salvation, social justice, and the inclusion of marginalized groups.
It portrays Jesus as the Spirit-anointed Messiah and compassionate Savior of all people—Jews and Gentiles alike. Luke’s narrative structure and literary style suggest it was written for an educated, urban, and likely Gentile audience, possibly in Asia Minor.
Scholars generally date its composition to 80–90 AD, though some argue for a later date (110–120 AD) based on theological and historical developments. The Gospel’s emphasis on prayer, the Holy Spirit, and concern for the poor strongly influence Christian theology and ethics.
Luke uniquely portrays Jesus’ birth, parables, and mercy-filled teachings, such as the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan.
The Gospel also presents Roman authorities in a relatively neutral light, perhaps to reassure Christians of their place within the empire. Its close relationship to Acts underlines the continuity between Jesus’ mission and the work of the early Church.
