Doctor of men and souls

The story of one of the most important figures in the early Christian Church. In A Doctor of Men and Souls , Taylor Caldwell portrays the life and work of Saint Luke in rich detail in a moving narrative.

The Bible presents Saint Luke as a generous-hearted, well-educated physician and author of one of the Gospels and the Book of Acts. Ancient legends describe him as an extraordinary figure, credited with performing miracles and wonders even before his conversion to Christianity.

In "Doctor of Men and Souls," Taylor Caldwell combines these two images of one of the most important icons of the early Christian church, characterized by his constant concern for the suffering of the sick, the oppressed, and the poor. The author researched Luke's life and works for years and describes them in a fictionalized way in a book rich in historical detail and moving narrative.

Lucan, or Luke, the only apostle who was not Jewish, never saw Christ, and everything written in his Gospel was acquired through research and the testimonies of Christ's mother, the disciples, and the apostles.

Luke was, above all, a great physician, and almost all the events narrated in this book are authentic - the setting of Saint Luke's early life, his adulthood and quest, as well as facts related to his family.

Physician of men and souls , the story of Saint Luke, is the story of the pilgrimage of all men through the despair and darkness of life, through suffering and anguish, through doubt and cynicism, through rebellion and hopelessness, until the understanding of God.
