The commentary kicks off by pointing out how Luke tells his story differently from the other Gospel writers, while also explaining how all four Gospels work together to show the life and purpose of Jesus. It also discusses St. Luke’s history and how his background affects his writing, with an additional focus on including everyone and the universal importance of salvation as a key part of St. Luke’s telling of the Gospel.
