Luke
   Name Means "The Beloved Physician."
   Home Possibly Antioch of Syria; later Philippi and other cities where Christian communities were started.
   Background Born into a cultured, educated Gentile family.
   Occupation Primarily a physician, though he became a historian and author, and even did some evangelism.
   Best Known For Writing about ¼ of the New Testament (Luke and Acts). His works emphasize the impact of the gospel on people considered to be 'second class' in Jewish culture at the time -- Gentiles, women, the poor -- as well as the topics of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.
