| Name Means | "The Beloved Physician." |  
| Home | Possibly Antioch of Syria; later Philippi
and other cities where Christian communities were started. |  
| Background | Born into a cultured,
educated Gentile family. |  
| Occupation | Primarily a physician, though he
became a historian and author, and even did some evangelism. |

considered to be 'second class' in Jewish culture at the time -- Gentiles,
women, the poor -- as well as the topics of prayer and the work of the Holy
Spirit. |  |  |
