I think it's important to note that Strelan's view is certainly not a majority view, so far as I can tell. It's not that it's impossible that Luke was a priest, but that I think the available evidence only allows a conclusion based on supposition and inference; it's not a certainty. Still, Strelan's book is interesting, well reasoned and well sourced.
