First words

[A Word to Those Who Preach the Word] There are times when I am preaching that I have especially sensed the pleasure of God.

Louis Macneice wrote regarding his reading of ancient literature:

And how one can imagine oneself among them
I do not know;
It was all so unimaginable different
And all so long ago.

Book description

Luke's carefully researched and orderly account of the life of Christ is one of the finest pieces of historical writing from the ancient world. More importantly, it boldly proclaims the story and significance of Jesus, emphasizing his "gospel" as good news for the whole world.
