Summary

Luke addresses his gospel (just like the sequel, Acts) to the honourable Theophilus. Just as many others have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled in Jesus, Luke also is inspired to record these things. He has carefully investigated and interviewed eyewitnesses and writes this gospel so that his readers might know with assurance the things that they have been taught!As we begin our study in Luke's gospel, we are not asking you to check your minds at the door. We want to carefully investigate these things! To study them hard! To ask questions and to look at them from different angles. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the evidence for our faith - the faith that has been passed down from the apostles. As we examine the life of Jesus of Nazareth, we grow more assured of this gospel we are being instructed in. We see the Kingdom of God unfold in him. We see the standard we strive and grow towards in him. We see the assurance of God's mercy towards us in him. Let us commit ourselves to the task of studying Luke thoroughly - so that we may know thoroughly and with certainty the hope we have been given.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Unknown Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance outlining an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. In the tale, Sir Gawain accepts a challenge from a mysterious warrior who is completely green, from his clothes and hair to his beard and skin. The "Green Knight" offers to allow anyone to strike him with his axe if the challenger will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts, and beheads him in one blow, only to have the Green Knight stand up, pick up his head, and remind Gawain to meet him at the appointed time. The story of Gawain's struggle to meet the appointment and his adventures along the way demonstrate the spirit of chivalry and loyalty. (Wikipedia) This 20th Century rendering is by WA Neilson. Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages by Wilhelm Wägner (1800 - 1886) LibriVox This volume contains the principal hero-lays of the six great epic cycles of the Teutonic Middle Ages: The Langobardian Legends, the Amelung and Kindred Legends; Dietrich of Bern's Adventures; the Nibelung Legends; the Hegeling Legends; and Beowulf. To them, the author has added the great mythical Carolingian cycle, which centred round the persons of Charlemagne and his heroes, and the Breton ones of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as the legend of the Holy Grail. Therefore, this one book tells all of the great epic and romances of the Middle Ages in accessible language for the general public.
