This commentary is an exposition of Luke—“the Gospel of Knowing for Sure.” Luke tells us that he wanted to provide an orderly account of the life of Jesus that would help people be more certain of the good news of his death and resurrection. The purpose of this commentary is simply to make Luke’s message clear for a contemporary audience by explaining, illustrating, and applying its truth to everyday life, with the hope that readers will understand the gospel and come to full assurance of salvation, as Luke intended.

Philip Ryken has provided the serious Bible student, the learning preacher and the growing Christian an invaluable asset through his commentary on Luke. His customary clarity and scholarship is presented in a style of communication that is informative, inspiring and inviting. What a blessing for the Kingdom – a faithful commentary which is also an absorbing page-turner. -- Harry L. Reeder III Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, AL

Philip Ryken’s Luke commentary is simply the finest expository commentary I have read in twenty years. Combining keen biblical insight, doctrinal depth, and beautiful exposition, Ryken’s Luke is a commentary of enduring value for the Church. -- Richard D. Phillips, Senior Minister, Second Presbyterian Church, Greenville, South Carolina; Chairman, Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology 

Following on from his Galatians volume, Phil Ryken provides us with another cornucopia of insight and knowledge. Few portions of the Scripture affect the way we understand what the church in the twenty-first century should look like than does 1 Timothy, and few contemporary guides could better guide us through these issues than Phil Ryken. This volume signals preaching and teaching at its very best, a model for all preachers in our time. -- Derek W.H. Thomas, Chancellors Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church (ARP), Columbia, South Carolina
