"Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught."

How was he previously "taught"? Luke was writing an epistle to clarify what was taught by others. Obviously, the message had been conveyed to Theo another way and Luke wanted him to have a more permanent record of the teachings. I have no problem with that.

Can you be "certain" of your faith through reading the book of Luke?
