Navigating the Gospels: Luke
Philip Fogarty S.J.

This is the first of a series of four books covering the four Gospels.

Intended for the general reader who wishes to know how the gospel came to be written and what it has to tell us about the Jesus who walked the dusty roads of Palestine, this is an attempt to offer some overall insights into the gospel. Jesus is 'our everyday God' showing us how to live and die in a meaningful way.

The reader is invited to let the gospel speak to the heart as well as the head. There is an age-old tradition of contemplating the gospels, and so the reader is invited to undertake an imaginative journey, looking at the people, places and actions of the various actors in the gospel stories, identifying with them imaginatively in the hope of better appreciating each gospel's message.

Philip Fogarty S.J., an Irish Jesuit, is retired from the post of Headmaster of Clongowes Wood College and is the author of several books.
