"Dear and Glorious Physician" was required reading in high school. It was the first of many Caldwell books I have read and continue to treasure. Another excellent work is:
This is the story of St. Paul, a Jew in love with his faith! I would encourage everyone to read at least one of these books. You will not be disappointed.
My instant answer: LOL! (Without reading the thread.)
Because St. Luke tells the complete story of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Now, I’ll go back and read the thread. LOL!
The Gospel of Luke is my favorite New Testament book, after Hebrews. I think it is the style and detail that make it so good. Luke, the physician, was an excellent journalist.
**A priest, who helped us write this book, said of St. Luke, "He was Our Lady's first troubadour." Only to Luke did Mary reveal the Magnificat, which contains the noblest words in any literature. He loved her above all the women he had ever loved.**
Just curious, what is your favorite OT book?
I love these two books. I can’t say enough about what they teach you about the times of the Apostles.
My absolute favorite book by Taylor Caldwell is “Grandmother and the Priests.” It’s a collection of “tales” about priests and their struggles to minister to their various flocks. If you like Taylor Caldwell and Celtic characters, I think you will enjoy it immensely.
I named my middle daughter Taylor because of the influence these three Caldwell books had on my life.
Have you read Taylor Caldwell’s book? Have you read any of her books? Do you have a favorite?
“Dining in the Kingdom of God” is a great book on St. Luke authored by the late Fr. Eugene A. La Verdiere.
He describes the 10 major meals in Luke’s Gospel and shows how each of them provides an insight into a particular aspect of the Eucharist especially those meals of Christ eaten with the outcasts and the marginalized.
He tells us that the meals eaten by the risen Christ puts to rest any theory that it was all an apparition. As in the Emmaus passage, “their eyes were opened and they recognized the Lord in the breaking of the bread.”
No, sorry.
Funny, Marcion loved Luke to the exclusion of all others save for Paul. Too bad, Taylor doesn’t tell us which version of Luke she prefers, the long or the short.
Her books are usually available on eBay and sometimes on Amazon.com. You would enjoy the ones devoted to the great Apostles.
Then maybe you can explain Matthew 28:17 which reads:
"When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. "
Exactly: Who wouldn’t doubt to see a dead man alive? It was the “eating” that made the doubts vanish.
This took place way after he allegedly ate and after their eyes were allegedly opened, and after they allegedly received the HolySpirit. This took place the last day Jesus was on earth according to the Bible, 40 days after his curcifixtion, on the Pentecost. Your time frame is a little off.
Two: Psalms and Isaiah.
Thomas doubted, but was later convinced.
Wasn’t Pentecost after the Lord was risen?
With one very hot sex scene which like all sixties novels explains everything.
