Thank you for joining in reading St. Luke’s Gospel. We pray that many are able to encounter God through doing so. This page links you to some resources that will possibly help to deepen understanding, as Luke is tells us about Jesus’ mission, death, and resurrection.

As a general and accessible introduction, The Bible Project is very good at outlining the main themes from Scripture in short animated films: https://bibleproject.com/explore/luke/

We also have a link to bible.com videos via our website at brindlestjames.co.uk : https://www.bible.com/en-GB/videos
