What kind of person was Saint Luke?
A:Luke was a physician. Paul describes Luke as a 'fellow labourer' in Philemon 1:24 - in other words, a preacher of Christianity. Contrary to later tradition, Luke did not write the gospel that now bears his name. This gospel was originally anonymous, but the estimated date of authorship, as well as internal evidence, mean that Luke could not have been its author.

When did Saint Gabriel Archangel officially become a saint?
Saint Gabriel the Archangel is recognized as a saint in the Catholic Church, although he does not have a specific canonization date like many saints. His veneration has been part of Christian tradition since the early centuries, and he is mentioned in the Bible, notably in the Book of Daniel and the Gospel of Luke. The feast of the Archangels, including Saint Gabriel, is celebrated on September 29 each year.
What is the birthday of Saint Luke?
The exact birthday of Saint Luke is not known, as there are no historical records that provide this information. However, Saint Luke is believed to have lived during the 1st century AD and is traditionally celebrated on October 18th as his feast day.
Which Gospel is believed to be the last Gospel?
The Gospel of John is the last of the New Testament gospels. Some believe it was written early in the second century, nearly a century after the year Jesus is believed to have died. Other gospels, not included in the New Testament, continued to be written for centuries. Some others date the writing of the Gospel before 70AD or up to the end of 95AD. The latter date is the most widely accepted date. The Gospel of John is the last gospel.Another Answer:It is almost universally accepted that John's Gospel was the last New Testament gospel to be written. It can readily be established that John was written later than Luke, because it is actually based loosely on Luke. Luke's Gospel, in turn, was originally based on Mark. And biblical scholars are satisfied that Luke was later than Matthew.
When is saint lukes birth day?
Saint Luke's birth day is traditionally celebrated on October 18th. However, the exact date of his birth is not known for certain.
When was Saint Luke canonized?
There is no known record in existence that shows this. What is known is that he was a companion of Paul and so he would have been born sometime in the first half of the first century. He was not one of the 'eyewitnesses and servants of the word' (Luke 1:2) from which he researched the details of the Gospel of Luke. As Acts which Luke wrote, can be dated around 61 AD a date around 30 AD would be possible, although due to the scanty records about Luke in the New Testament this cannot be fixed with any certainty.
How long after Jesus' death were the Gospels of Matthew Mark Luke and John written?
Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels. Mark's Gospel was written in Greek, and there is ample evidence that Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel were based on Mark's Gospel. St John's Gospel appears to have been based on Luke's Gospel, but the author clearly also knew Mark's Gospel and copied some material from it. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. Nevertheless much scholarly study has gone into establishing approximately when they were written.Mark's Gospel was written in the late 60s or very early in the 70s CE, thus around 40 years after the most commonly accepted dates for the death of Jesus.Matthew's Gospel was written after Mark's, but before Luke's Gospel. It is generally considered to have been written in the 80s CE. This means that it was probably written more than 50 years after the death of Jesus.Luke's Gospel is generally considered to have been written in the 90s CE, but could well be from early in the second century. It comes some 70 years after the death of Jesus, and long after all his contemporaries were dead.John's Gospel is generally considered to have been written a little after Luke, and a date early in the second century is probable. Once again, this Gospel is dated more than 70 years after the generally accepted date of the crucifixion.
If St Luke wrote his Gospel and Acts of the Apostle around 2nd Century and if he is a contemporary of Christ then he must be 93 yrs old when he wrote both?
Scholars today, even including those of liberal persuasion, generally do not accept such a late date as the overwhelming evidence is for a much earlier date. The accurate historical information provided by Luke just does not fit into the second century.
What is the approximate date for the book Luke from the bible?
The exact date of any Gospel is debated among scholars, but most play it between AD 37 to AD 70, that is, between 4 to 30 years after Christ's death and resurrection.
