Synopsis

From Birth to Resurrection in the Gospel of Luke

Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God's kingdom to those who most needed to hear it.

In Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws, pastor and bestselling author Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke's stories we find Jesus' care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus' concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today.

The book can be listened to alone or used for a group study and church-wide Lenten program.

Adam Hamilton has done it again. He takes a book from the Bible that we think we know well. His research, historical finds, teaching in context, and practical applications for today's life provide so many new facets of understanding.

Goodreads review by Ray on April 18, 2023

Hamilton stresses the mention of outcasts, including Samaritans, Tax Collectors, and Lepers as worthy recipients of God's love. He states that Jesus particularly ministered to these people, ate dinner with them, and touched a leper while healing him. He also emphasizes the important role women playe......more

Goodreads review by Paul on May 11, 2023

Hamilton writes very good books. Overall this book was enjoyable. It could have been more focused on the subject of Luke and the ideas of the outcastes and outsiders, especially in the middle chapters that seem to stray. Ultimately its more of a summary of the whole book of Luke with a filter of Jes......more
