Summary: Great source for amateur theologians
Comment: I wanted to learn more about what the general schools of thought were concerning the Gospel According the St Luke and "What are they saying about Luke" is a great place to start.

The book take a great approach, with each chapter discussing a different aspect of the third Gospel - authorship, the history and cultural aspects surrounding the Gospel, the audience, themes, etc. The book discussion major sources, research, and analysis from biblical scholars around the world (well, mostly American and European) and outlines the scholars' arguments as they relate to the theme of the chapter (e.g., a chapter on Salvation would contain the main premsies of the recent major scholarly analysis of Luke.)

Chapters are short and written for the serious layman: not too 'heady' or scholarly or not alot of jargon or technical language. That doesn't meant that the book doesn't educate you, though. The author explains key themes, terms, and points about the different aspects in Luke.

Also it has a great bibliography at the end.

The main shortcoming of this book is that it was published in 1990 and I am not sure if it's been updated since then. Therefore, there may be new studies on Luke published since then that aren't covered.

Regardless, this is a concise, highly readable, and informative source for understanding the scholarly discussion on the Gospel According the St Luke.
