From Taylor Caldwell, the world-famous novel about the triumphant story of St. Luke, man of science and Gospel writer

Lucanus grew up in the household of his stepfather, the Roman governor 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.

Taylor Caldwell's 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. Here is a story to warm, to inspire, to call forth renewal of faith and love lying deep in each listener's heart.

I read this book many years ago and was thrilled to read it again. It is a fictional accounting of the physician, Luke, from the bible. It is VERY loosely based on the bible and the author has a wonderful imagination of how she pictures his story, but regardless of the biblical inaccuracies and bold fiction, it is historically a very interesting tale and held me captive for most of it. There are a few flowery parts where I did not focus, but it captured me almost immediately when they were over. I recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent read!

Beautiful story, beautifully told. I actually read this book years ago and loved it then, but listening to it brought it to life. References to biblical events were tastefully done. I truly enjoyed this book.

Caldwell’s account of the life of Luke, beloved writer of The Gospel of Luke and part of Acts of the Apostles is inspired and inspiring. It is so well done and believable that God must surely be pleased!

Marvelously uplifting

I liked it all. It was long but I enjoyed listening to it as I worked in my garden or drove my car.

It followed the Bible I recognized many stories. I would recommend this book.

Such a carefully written historical novel reflecting the exhaustive research of Taylor Caldwell . Second reading for me of the story of Luke. I am so glad it is in Audible now. Excellent narrator!

Visions and imagery of historic proportions

Unfortunately, the narrator, all through this book, pronounces "Messiah" as "messy-ass." This is beyond idiocy and intensely grating to my ears. One can only give thanks that he never has to announce "Cheeses Heights."

Pronunciation?
