You will find Saint Luke to be interesting and articulate in that he was a learned man who wrote not only the book of Saint Luke but also the book of Acts formally called "Luke-Acts" Born in ancient Antioch in Syria he was also a physician. His death occurred when he was 84. It is believed he was a gentile and not a Jew (Wikipedia) and if so he would have been the only New Testament writer not Jewish. A follower of Saint Paul he was respected and called "The doctor" by those he traveled with.
