Luke the Evangelist

Luke the Evangelist is traditionally considered one of the Four Evangelists, the authors of the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

Authorship

The Early Church Fathers ascribed to him the authorship of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, which would mean Luke contributed over a quarter of the text of the New Testament, more than any other author<ref>Bruce M.,

However, a lack of conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of these works has led to discussion in scholarly circles, both secular and religious<ref>,
