Let’s “Luke” at Luke

We, as a group, focused on the possible political agenda of the author of Luke. For example, when analyzing the trial of Jesus, we see that Pontius Pilate is extra caring and defensive of Jesus. This gives way to the idea that Pontius Pilate was not necessarily acting like this in real life but actually had a motive to portray Jesus’ trial in this light (possibly to defend the ways of his Christian community).
