Luke Books 1-5

The format of this gospel is different, and it even starts in first person. It seems that it is a letter to some Theophilius; like a story sort of. It starts with the story of a baby that appears to be John the Baptist and apparently something similar happened with him like Jesus. Then it goes to Jesus' story but keeps the two intertwined. This is more like in a story format and is thus less monotonous. I like this gospel a lot better. It also first mentions the Romans. The two gospels before only slightly mentioned the Romans in the end of the story; when Jesus is crucified. It also gives a specific time period.

It also goes back to a lot of the stories from the Gospel of Matthew; things like his lineage, all the Devil's temptations and so forth.
