Description

The world-famous novel about the triumphant story of St. Luke. Man of science, and Gospel author. Today St. Luke is referred to as the creator of the third Gospel of the New Testament, but two thousand years ago he was once Lucanus, a Greek, a man who loved, knew the emptiness of bereavement, and later traveled through the hills and wastes of Judea asking, “What manner of man was once my Lord?” And it is of this Lucanus that Taylor Caldwell tells here in some of the stirring stories ever lived or written. Lucanus grew up in the household of his stepfather, the Roman govenor of Antioch. After studying medicine in Alexandria he became one of the vital greatest physicians of the ancient world and traveled all over the place through the Mediterranean region healing the sick. As time went on he learned of the life and death of Christ and saw in Him the God he was once seeking. To find out all he could about the life and teachings of Jesus, whom he never saw, Lucanus visited all of the places where Jesus had been, questioning everyone–including His mother, Mary–who had known Him or heard Him preach. At last, when he had gathered all information conceivable, he wrote down what we now know as the Gospel according to St. Luke. Taylor Caldwell has chosen the grand, the splendid means to tell of St. Luke. Her own travels through the Holy Land and years of meticulous research made Dear and Glorious Physician a fully developed portrait of a complex and brilliant man and a colorful re-creation of ancient Roman life as it contrasted in its decadence with the new world Christianity was once bringing into being. Here’s a story to warm, to inspire, to call forth renewal of faith and love lying deep in each reader’s heart.
