Contributions

= Sources of the Gospel according to Luke =

MacLean Gilmour proposed various theories about the sources that were used in the Gospel According to Luke.{{cite book|author=Kim Paffenroth|title=The Story of Jesus According to L|volume=147|series=Journal for the study of the New Testament: Supplement series|publisher=A&C Black|year=1997|isbn=9781850756750|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7-jUAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA20|pages=20}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZPpAKCZ1MBcC&pg=PA16|pages=16|author=Vincent Taylor|title=The Passion Narrative of St Luke: A Critical and Historical Investigation|publisher=Cambridge University Press|date=16 December 2004|editor1=Vincent Taylor|editor2=Owen E.
