Luke 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.
