Commentaries and General Works on Luke’s Gospel

G.B. Caird, The Gospel of St Luke (Pelican New Testament Commentaries; Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1963).

J.M. Creed, The Gospel according to St Luke (Macmillan: London, 1930). A classic study based on the Greek text.

E.E. Ellis, The Gospel of Luke (New Century Bible; London: Marshall, Morgan & Scott, 1974). Based on the English text and of medium length: careful and thorough exegesis.
