REC: Luke, 2 vols.

Written after Jesus' earthly ministry had come to an end, when word of his
teachings and actions had spread to those who had never seen him firsthand,
Luke is '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 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. If an account of Jesus' life
was needed in Luke's time, how much more acutely is it needed in ours - and
Luke's gospel stands as ready as ever to fill this need.

As are all the books in the Reformed Expository Commentary series, this
exposition of Luke in two volumes is accessible to both pastors and lay
readers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful
attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ
through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our
contemporary setting.

'Philip Ryken has provided the serious bible student, the learning
preacher, and the growing Christian with 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

'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
