Picking a topic for a seminar (need suggestions!)

[Eveline]

Hi!

I'm currently taking a (university) course in Bible studies, and as a part of the course I have to make a presentation for a seminar and lead the discussion afterwards. The only key words I've been given are: the gospels, with a particular focus on Luke's. So I need to find an interesting "question"/topic relating to Luke, but I'm very uncertain ... it would be neat to do a presentation that is a little bit different and captivating somehow. So I'm looking for an interesting approach, maybe an intriguing question to address?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Several possibilities:

The role of the poor
Women
Luke's relationship to Mary (mother of Jesus) based on the detail of Luke 1-2
Suffering
Luke's Sermon on the Plain
Old Testament references
Luke's presentation of Jesus's divinity
Luke's approach to healing miracles
Divine necessity (Greek word DEI = "must"/"it is necessary") in the Gospel
