The Things Fulfilled Among Us:
A Study of Luke
Zechariah, Elizabeth, Simeon, Anna, and Zacchaeus. The lost coin, the lost sheep, the lost son, and the persistent widow. We know these names and stories from the disciples who passed on Jesus’s message, from Luke the evangelist, and from the eyewitnesses he interviewed. The Third Gospel is a treasure trove of many of the Church's most enduring examples of faithfulness, love, and “the things fulfilled among us.”
In The Things Fulfilled Among Us: A Study of Luke, Peter Rice leads his readers through the familiar stories of Jesus’ birth and early days, through the preaching of John the Baptist, to Jesus’ ministry and steady march to Jerusalem. Ideal for Bible classes at church and small group or individual studies, this volume will encourage, convict, and inform all who wish to teach and better understand the Gospel of Luke.
