About this listen
From Taylor Caldwell, the world-famous novel about the triumphant story of St. Luke, man of science and Gospel writer
Lucanus grew up in the household of his stepfather, the Roman governor of Antioch. After studying medicine in Alexandria, he became one of the greatest physicians of the ancient world and traveled far and wide through the Mediterranean region healing the sick. As time went on, he learned of the life and death of Christ and saw in him the God he was seeking. To find out all he could about the life and teachings of Jesus, whom he never saw, Lucanus visited all the places where Jesus had been, questioning everyone - including his mother, Mary - who had known him or heard him preach. At last, when he had gathered all information possible, he wrote down what we now know as the Gospel according to St. Luke.
Taylor Caldwell's own travels through the Holy Land and years of meticulous research made Dear and Glorious Physician a fully developed portrait of a complex and brilliant man and a colorful re-creation of ancient Roman life. Here is a story to warm, to inspire, to call forth renewal of faith and love lying deep in each listener's heart.

A timeless and inspiring story
This is a timeless and inspiring story, beautifully written and sensitively read. Every minute of the 20+ hours of this recording is full of colour and interest. I pray Tantor Media go on to record the continuation of the story with Great Lion of God, the story of St Paul, who is only introduced here in the last chapter.

A background account of Luke’s gospel
Too much imaginary story around the Bible story. Improves as the events of the gospel appear in the story.
