Endnote 6 – Who Wrote the Gospel of Luke?

The quotation is taken from Hobart’s cumbersome subtitle to The Medical Language of St. Luke: A Proof from Internal Evidence that “The Gospel according to St. Luke” and “The Acts of the Apostles” Were Written by the Same Person, and that the Writer was a Medical Man (1882; reprint, Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1954). Hobart’s thesis was supported by the eminent scholar Adolf von Harnack (Luke the Physician, trans. J.R. Wilkinson [New York: Putnam, 1909]).
