Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

If you're new here, welcome!

We've put all the information you need about our reading plan on the start page of our

website, thebibelrecap.com, as well as in the episode we post a called New Testament

So be sure you check that out if you're brand new, and if you haven't already yet, I also

want to encourage you to listen to our six prep episodes that will really help set you

up for success as you begin reading through scripture with us.

We'll link to all those in the show notes of today's episode.

Today we launch into two of the four Gospels.

The four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are narrative accounts of the life of Jesus

And while maybe Luke did see a lot of these things firsthand, he treats his role more like

an investigative reporter who goes around interviewing all the other eyewitnesses in order

to tell the story well.

He's kind of like the weather reporter in the rain jacket who stands in the storm talking

to the locals.

Since the Gospels are narrative and you're likely to grasp the stories, I'll spend less

time recapping the stories themselves and more time recapping the meaning and underlying

implications.

Each of the Gospels writers has a unique lens on who Jesus is.

Luke's primary lens is Jesus as man.
