It Is an Artistic Gospel. Renan calls Luke the most beautiful book
in the world, while Dr, Robertson says "the charm of style and the
skill in the use of facts place it above all praise". The delicacy and
accuracy, picturesqueness and precision with which he sets forth the
different incidents is manifestly the work of a trained historian. His
is the most beautiful Greek and shows the highest touches of culture
of all of the gospels.
