Luke Video Series

     The Luke video is the complete book of Luke. It is very accurate in presenting a true-to-life version of the verse-by-verse account of Jesus’ life as recorded in the book of Luke. Because Luke is segmented into short episodes, it is ideal material for Bible teaching, discussion groups, and evangelism. The episodes are designed to promote discussion of the text/teachings as they are viewed. After watching a segment, a teacher/leader can interact with the audience and explain any questions that might arise during the showing of that episode. The Luke episodes can also serve as teaching videos to share historical information of life in Bible times.

     The Genesis Project has also made teaching materials available which accompany the Luke video. These include summaries of each episode, lesson plans aimed at different age groups, and supplementary readings, which give more background information (maps, history, culture, etc.) to each episode. The Genesis Project has also produced “The Companion Series.” It gives similar background information and history in a filmstrip format with the text on audiocassette.
