Luke's Gospel was specifically addressed to a man of whom we know nothing - Theophilus. But it is widely accepted that it was for the purpose of addressing the Gentiles in general,much as you would send a letter to one person for them to share with a group. A pointer to this is Luke's detailing of Jewish practices, which would not have been necessary for a Jewish audience.
