For those involved in, or for those who are still trying to move forward with Christian socialism (a progressive/liberal movement), Luke could be seen as a social gospel due to the fact that Luke's special emphasis is the humanity of Jesus. Representing Jesus as the Son of God, Luke shows His kindness toward the weak, the suffering, and the outcast. The origin of the social gospel movement during the second half of the 19th century began by trying to address these very same concerns in society at large.
