This is a highly fascinating and enlightening study of the medical words and phrases common to the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Since its first appearance it remains the standard study of this intriguing problem. A comprehensive Table of Contents and unusually extensive Index furnish the reader with a ready guide to every word or phase treated. Appended to this study is an interesting discussion of the probability of the Apostle Paul's use of Luke's professional services. Dr. Hobart was well qualified to make this study. Before his ordination he was an honored and outstanding scholar at Trinity College, Dublin.

Excerpt from The Medical Language of St. Luke: A Proof From Internal Evidence That "the Gospel According to St. Luke" And "the Acts of the Apostles" Were Written by the Same Person, and That the Writer Was a Medical Man Galen's works are so extensive, occupying twenty one volumes in Kuhn's edition, that they have been quoted by the volume and page (appended in brackets), as well as by the titles and sections of the several treatises. In order to bring the work within reasonable bounds, it was found necessary that the number of examples of the medical use of a word should not, in any case, exceed ten; in many instances they could be cited indefinitely. The few cases in which they are not of very frequent use in the medical authors have been noticed under the words, and the examples have, generally speak ing, been taken, as far as possible, from all the medical authors, to show the continuous and varied use of the words in medical language. An asterisk has been prefixed to those words which are peculiar to the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, and also to a few words, which, though not peculiar to these writings, are used in them alone of the New Testament in a medical sense. A Note has been appended, at the end of the book, which, though not strictly connected with the subject of the work, has reference to a question which is of some interest in connexion with St. Luke in his medical capacity.
