Luke (1st century CE) was, according to Christian tradition, one of the four evangelists.
Luke in ancient sources
The author of Luke-Acts is traditionally identified with Luke, a friend and companion of Paul, mentioned in three letters--as "a fellow worker" (in Philemon 1:24); as "the beloved physician" (in Colossians 4:14); as a companion (in 2 Timothy 4:11).
The Christian tradition assumed that they were all references to the same person and described Luke as a Gentile, a native of Antioch, by profession a physician. Besides being the author of Luke-Acts, he was also described as the first iconographer. There are no narratives about his martyrdom; Luke was believed to have lived to old age. His reputed remains were brought to Padoa [Italy] in the 12th century.
Luke in Scholarship
Studies on the historical Luke are made impossible by the lack of evidence, and generally restricted to introductory notes on the authorship of Luke-Acts, or on the legends surrounding his life.
Luke in Fiction
The traditional iconography of Luke focused on his role as evangelist and inconographer; it never developed into a narrative cycle.
Modern novels seems to be more attracted to his medical profession and his relationship with Paul. Luke appears prominently also in some novels on Paul and Christian origins, notably, The Silver Chalice (1952 Costain), novel, and Paul (2000 Wangerin), novel.
