Millions of readers made the Left Behind series bestsellers. Now the third in the authors' bestselling Jesus Chronicles is available in trade paperback.
This biblically inspired novel, third in the bestselling Jesus Chronicles, tells the story of Luke-the Gospel writer whose belief was built on the power of faith alone. Luke, who hadn't met Jesus, is skeptical of His miracles, until events in his own life irreversibly change him. Pledging himself to Christ, he begins a Gospel based on the conversion stories of believers and interviews with those who knew Him best-the disciples who spent three years with Jesus and, most important, His mother, Mary. The result would be a Scripture rich in the miraculous stories of the Lord's divinity, intended to appeal to women, nonbelievers, and the disenfranchised-and that would speak to the heart of Christians all over the world.

From Publishers Weekly
Authors of the highly successful Left Behind series of apocalyptic novels, pastor LaHaye and author Jenkins base their stories on Christian scripture. Their latest religious fiction project examines the era and story of Jesus Christ by constructing accounts of each Gospel writer's life. This volume of The Jesus Chronicles recounts the life story of the author of the Gospel of Luke. Luke, born as Loukon into a family of slaves, earns the respect of his master, Theophilus, as a child and is sent to the university in Tarsus to study medicine. From this point on, the plot, unfortunately, becomes contrived. While at school, Luke meets Saul, an arrogant fellow student who later becomes known as Paul after his conversion. Luke develops a hobby of writing stories and eventually composes his gospel at the feet of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who, while old and somewhat feeble, is able to recall the exact words her son spoke 20 years before. Fans of the authors' earlier work will likely appreciate this account, but it is unlikely to win any converts. (Feb.)

Thought-Provoking
By RMcCright
We meet the author of the New Testament's third gospel as an adolescent son of slaves. Loukon knows that he is fortunate to belong to Stoic master Theophilus who sponsors the intelligent, medically-minded youth at the university in Tarsus. In his first semester, Luke meets the vocal and passionate Saul who has no compunction when it comes to asserting the superiority of Judaism and of Jews. Luke continues to pursue a Stoic lifestyle in hopes of becoming a man in right standing, but he continues to feel that he is falling short of the mark. As ship's doctor, Luke meets Saul again years after university, although Saul is now a new man; even his name is different. This life changing encounter prompts Luke to pursue another passion: recording history. His meetings with Paul, the other apostles, and even Mary results in a detailed retelling of the most famous man in history, Jesus Christ.
Although it is a fictional work, reading it allowed this reviewer to consider the sacrifice and level of faith the story of Christ required of its followers. Luke did not ever meet Jesus and the persecution of the early church was a deterrent to its contemporaries. This work provides readers with a very small glimpse of the life-altering decision to believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and not the mad man that the world says he was. This fictional story gives us a sense of the Author's efforts to orchestrate the lives of men to bring us His inspired Word and the luxury that is ours to have the Word sitting in our homes.

Luke's Story is # 3 in the Jesus Chronicles Series
By Patience ~ Christian/Thriller Author
If you like Biblical history like me, you should enjoy this series. Luke's story helps you visualize how the people in the Bible might have been like and how they handled various trials during Jesus time.
This story is based on the biblical account of Luke who was an early Christian writer who the Church Fathers said was the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke spoke Greek who lived in of Antioch in Ancient Syria. He had become a disciple and constant companion of the Apostle Paul and followed him until Paul was executed.
In "Luke's Story," Loukon who is later called Luke, is a Greek slave whose master, Theophilus, sends him to a university to become a physician. There Loukon encounters Saul of Tarsus, an arrogant debater.
Later, as a physician, Luke hears tales of a man named Jesus and his miraculous healings of one of his own patients.
After Saul of Tarsus now called Paul, is converted and becomes a follower of Jesus, Luke's life changes and he pledges himself to Jesus and decides to write a Gospel based on years of talking to believers about their testimony and listening to their stories of the Jesus's life from those who knew Him- most important, His mother, Mary.

Regarding previous review by David Zampino

Regarding previous review by David Zampino (Delavan, Wisconsin)
Mr. Zampino wrote: -- there WAS NO SUCH THING AS A UNIVERSITY UNTIL THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES!!! THE CONCEPT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST!!!
Historians say different:
Historian Robert H. Gundry had the following to say concerning Greco-Roman education and the university at Tarsus:
"Greco-Roman education was liberal in its scope. Slaves supervised boys in their earlier years by giving them their first lessons and then leading them to and from private schools until they graduated into adulthood with a great deal of ceremony. As young men, they could then attend universities at Athens, Rhodes, Tarsus, Alexandria, and other places to study philosophy, rhetoric, law, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, geography, and botany" (italics mine). (Robert H. Gundry, A Survey Of The New Testament, (Grand Rapids, Zondervan Publishing House, 1994), pgs.81-82. It is clear by the author's inference that Tarsus was among the top four of the most desirable universities to attend in antiquity by the privileged classes in the Roman empire.
Also in The American Journal of Biblical Theology I found an article "The Early Life and Background of Paul the Apostle."

Wallace holds a Master of Theology and Master of Biblical Studies from Regent University School of Divinity. He is presently pursuing a Doctorate in Theology from the same institution.
He stated:" Tarsus was widely known in antiquity as a "university city," as well as a city of commerce in Paul's day. Educators from all over the Roman empire came to teach at the schools of learning at Tarsus. Grecian, Egyptian, Roman, African, and many other scholars came, bringing their learning and culture with them."
