I am happy to join with your discussion of the Gospel of Luke. Here is an initial submission of my thoughts on the Gospel of Luke:
In telling us the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, Luke’s Gospel is also a work of history, written down after careful investigation and on the basis of eyewitnesses and other reliable sources (1:1–3). Moreover, it is a work of theology, written so that readers may know that the teachings of Christianity are true (1:4): Jesus Christ is indeed Savior, Messiah, Lord, and Son of God (1:35; 2:11). Luke’s Gospel is all these things, and it is also divinely inspired, communicating to us what God wanted written for the sake of our salvation.

Authorship
The titles found at the beginning or end of the earliest extant manuscripts of the
Gospel, including Papyrus 75, dated by scholars to around AD 200, attribute
the work to “Luke.”

The Gospel of Luke
Background info:
Luke, was Paul’s follower and set down in a book the Gospel that was preached by Paul. Among modern scholars it is also accepted that Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles and that Luke even accompanied Paul on some of his journeys, which he indicated by writing in the first-person plural, the so-called “we” sections (Acts 16:10–17; 20:5–15; 21:1–18; 27:1–28:16).3
In Paul’s letters that mention Luke, one saying that Luke is with him (2 Tim 4:11) and one describing him as “the beloved physician” (Col 4:14). There is also a third (Philem 24), in which Luke is described as one of Paul’s fellow workers.
