Michael Wilcock, formerly director of pastoral studies at Trinity College, Bristol, has written a compelling work on the Gospel of Luke for the everyday man.  While not lacking in a scholarly approach, Wilcock has deftly interwoven word studies, culture context, and exegesis into his narrative. This makes his work palatable for a wide audience.

Widely regarded as one of the premier theologians of his day, Leon Morris has used his substantial experience and knowledge to unpack Luke’s account of Jesus’ life.  Throughout his commentary, Mr. Morris does not shy away from controversial passages.  He takes time to unravel some of the more hard-to-understand verses without getting bogged down in the details. This theological work is perfect for those who’d like a little more substance to their studies but do not want to have a dictionary open to understand what the author is trying to get across.

David E. Garland is no stranger to theological circles. Having served as Dean at George W. Truett Seminary for some time has made Garland quite adapt at biblical eisegesis and exegesis. His work on Luke serves to equip his readers with a thorough understanding of the historical context within the Evangelist’s world. Serious students of the Word, particularly pastors, would do well to have Garland’s work open in front of them.

When approaching a study of Luke’s gospel, there is one theological work which stands out and that is the two-volume commentary from Darrell L. Bock.  In its 2148 pages, there is very little that Bock failed to cover.  From dealing with controversies, to unpacking the Geek syntax of certain passages, to thoughtful exposition, this commentary has it all.
