Reviews"A portrait so moving and so eloquent I doubt it is paralleled elsewhere in literature. It is Caldwell's greatest novel!" -- Boston Herald "Alive with the bustle of ancient times . . . Movingly reconstructs St. Luke's search for God." -- The New York Times "Magnificent! Taylor Caldwell, who has splendid powers of narration, unleashes them all in this, her finest novel. She has made St. Luke a real and believable man and recreated on a vast canvas the times and people of his day. You see as large as life all the glory and decadence of Rome and all the strife, turmoil and mysticism of Africa.... A glowing and passionate statement of belief!" --Columbus Citizen

SynopsisThe world-famous novel about the triumphant story of St. Luke. Man of science, and Gospel writer. Today St. Luke is known as the author of the third Gospel of the New Testament, but two thousand years ago he was 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 my Lord?" And it is of this Lucanus that Taylor Caldwell tells here in one of the most 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 greatest physicians of the ancient world and traveled far and wide 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 seeking. To find out all he could about the life and teachings of Jesus, whom he never saw, Lucanus visited all 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 possible, he wrote down what we now know as the Gospel according to St. Luke., The world-famous novel about the triumphant story of St. Luke. Man of science, and Gospel writer.

At last, when he had gathered all information possible, 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 bringing into being. Here is a story to warm, to inspire, to call forth renewal of faith and love lying deep in each reader's heart.

There aren't enough good words to describe these books. Very educational, great story,
The above title was printed incorrectly. It should read "A Novel about Saint Luke, by Taylor Caldwell" This book is one of my favorites ever. I read it when I was 16 years old. Long time ago. The other favorite is "The Good Earth", by Pearl Buck. I highly recommend them both. Two other excellent books I've read are: "The Winds of War", and " War and Remembrance", both by Herman Wouk. Can't go wrong with any of these. I know there are many more, but these have always been my favorites.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Oldie but goodie
Novel based on life of St. Luke, author of third Gospel. Not much i really known about him, but scholarship and spirituality of author makes for interesting and rewarding read. Older book I have read several times over the years. If you like it, she has written several other excellent books.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A Very worthy read.
Taylor Caldwell obviously did great research. She was a great master of word pictures and this book has enlightened my view of New Testament life and culture. My thinking of Dr Luke will always be enhanced.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Enjoyable book,
Read this years ago and thought I'd read again. It's an interesting, imaginative perspective on St. Luke and the Roman, Greek and Jewish cultures during the time of Christ.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
