Description:
Michael Himes presents a powerful case as to why the main theme of this gospel is "strong compassion" - a theme which flows through the parables, miracles and events of Jesus' life. In Jesus, God's Spirit is let loose in the world, and its first effects are the breaking down of barriers. This gospel tells the reader that God is at work in unexpected places and so calls for a revolution in which the poor are raised up and the rich sent empty away.
This video is filled with insights into Luke's Gospel which may be new to many viewers. Do you know that the first time Jesus is given the exalted title of "Lord"
