Thank you for a most beautiful cover (April 2001). Now I know why I subscribed for two more years.

Practically Perfect

I love Bible Review. I anticipate it the year round and read it from cover to cover the day it arrives, and then wait for the next issue with bated breath.

My own personal “complaint” to an otherwise splendid publication: Your magazine contains some of the most beautiful, rare and well-reproduced objects of art, but I would like to see more detail about these—specifically, the artist’s name, the title and date of the artwork, the medium used and the current location. This addition would make your magazine perfect instead of the best.

Did we do any better in this issue?—Ed.

Luke

Luke or Lucia?

Mikeal Parsons, in his excellent article on Luke (“Who Wrote the Gospel of Luke?” BR 17:02), did not refer to the theory that this gospel, with its inclusion of “women’s themes,” may have been written by a woman (posing as a man, due to the tenor of the time). Even if scholars dismiss these ideas as bunk, I would appreciate any thoughts on the subject.
