Luke is an eight-session study that walks through key moments in salvation history. The Gospel of Luke takes readers on a journey from the foretelling of John the Baptist’s birth to Jesus’ Ascension into heaven. Along the way, Luke reveals Christ’s mercy through powerful teachings and parables found only in this Gospel. Luke’s Gospel uncovers how Jesus fulfills the promises of the Old Testament, most clearly in the story of the road to Emmaus.

Guided by Jeff Cavins and Dr. Jeffrey Morrow, this study will show you the beautiful biblical roots for Mary, the Rosary, and the Mass that are found in Luke, strengthening your prayer life like never before.
