Bible scholar, John Howard Reid, has breathed new life into the gospel of Luke in this totally new and often extremely startling translation, based on the best available, early Greek texts. Reid has expertly employed the latest discoveries regarding the real meanings behind many of Luke's words. Unlike most other translators, Reid has NOT approached the Gospel with any particular religious beliefs in mind. Indeed, he has taken great care not to twist Luke's words to make them conform to notions entertained by any particular church body or religion. Best of all, he has made Luke's words plain as day and remarkably easy to comprehend. Here is a translation inspired by the very same Holy Spirit who lent Her guidance to Doctor Luke, Paul's beloved assistant and Disciple. {The word, "spirit", is feminine in Greek, although this does not necesarily indicate Her gender).
