Jesus Luke:

In this collection of biblical expositions, eight prominent Bible teachers look to the Gospel of Luke and its unique portrait of our Savior, exploring everything from the nature of Jesus's divine sonship to his rejection by the religious and political rulers of his day.
Chapters include:


John Piper Jesus the Son of God, the Son of Mary Luke Colin Smith Jesus Despised Luke: Crawford Loritts Jesus's Transforming Power on Behalf of the Afflicted Luke: D.
A. Carson Jesus's Resolve to Head toward Jerusalem Luke: Kevin DeYoung Jesus and the Lost Luke: Stephen Um Jesus and Money Luke: Gary Millar Jesus Betrayed and Crucified Luke:: Tim Keller Jesus Vindicated

Luke: This book will help you grasp the overarching message of the book of Luke: the blameless life, atoning death, and vindicating resurrection of Jesus Christ.
A dynamic introduction to studying the book of Luke, It is less of a formal/academic commentary, and more a collection of sermons on the Gospel according to Luke because that's exactly what it is.
In the introduction you learn that this is the result of a series of talks put on by the gospel coalition.
I especially appreciated this book in regards to the parables presented in Luke, I often struggle with the parables of Jesus, and the presentation here made it more clear for me.


I would say my favorite chunk of the book was actually the appendix at the end.
I really enjoyed hearing D, A. Carson, John Piper, Timothy Keller, and Kevin DeYoung discuss the question of whether Jesus preached the gospel.
It's like sitting in the same room, and that's a cool experience, This book is taken from eight sermons given at The Gospel Coalition conference, Knowing that helps a lot when you read it, Otherwise, it feels a bit disjointed, The voice changes with each chapter, which can be refreshing, except when you really like the voice that just finished.
Keller, DeYoung, and Carson were definitely my favorites, As with all the TGC stuff, the exposition was very sound, and the texts covered were covered in depth.
I know it would've been a much longer/larger project, but I would love to see the whole book of Luke covered in this manner.
