Description
I found this a fascinating book. The first part is a dissertation on the life and writings of St. Luke. Smith discusses Luke's knowledge of ships and sailing, the sources he used for his gospel account, and whether he was planning a third writing after that of the Acts of the Apostles. The sea voyage itself then follows, and Smith's main emphasis is on where exactly did the shipwreck take place. The book is well written; and although there is a fair amount of Greek, it poses no hindrance to understanding the intent of the author. There are several dissertations at the end of the book (on the wind "Euroclydon," the island Melita, ships of the ancients) as well as a number of appendices. -- Carol Morgan
