Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were once thought to be historically accurate, giving them a special place in the New Testament. Now, New Testament scholars have established that the author ofLuke actually relied on Mark's Gospel for everything that he knew about the life and mission of Jesus. They say that Luke was believed too readily, and that there are serious doubts about the historicity of events unique to Luke and Acts.
Nevertheless, Luke's Gospel can continue to inspire for its concern for the poor and for the moral truths in its parables, such as the Good Samaritan.

Why is the Old Testament not relevant?
Christianity was founded in the Jewish religion and modern Christians do consider the Old Testament as quite relevant, even if it became less important after the development of the New Testament. Even to atheists and followers of other religions, the Old Testament is relevant purely because of its historical significance.Some early Christians, on the other hand, considered the Old Testament as of little or no relevance. The Marcionites excluded the Old Testament and much of what is now the New Testament, keeping only a gospel, called simply the Gospel or the Gospel of the Lord, plus ten epistles attributed to Paul. They believed that their gospel had been written by Paul himself, but it actually seems to have been Luke's Gospel with references to the Old Testament removed.
