***Uh. God just may have given us a Greek.***

May have.

I don't see much Greek philosophy in Luke. The closest you'll get is the "logos" in John.

I didn't say that you'll find Greek philosophy in them. But you can use the Augustinian or Thomistic models to understand Luke or any other Scripture. Just as you can used "pagan" Mathematics to understand the architecture of the Temple, the Ark of the Covenant or Noah's Ark. God forbid Pythagoras actually stumbled onto a truth that would help one understand something Divine. Why stop there? Why did any of the Apostles speak other languages beside Syriac? I mean, why should they have spoken the pagan languages of Latin and Greek?
