Acts

Who wrote Acts?

Luke's name does not appear in Acts or Luke

Luke's name is attached to the Gospel of Luke in the earliest manuscripts.

Luke 1:1-4 and Acts 1:1 are both addressed to Theophilus

Luke 1:1-4

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

Acts 1:1

In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach...

Early church fathers attribute Acts to Luke

By process of elimination - Acts mentions every other possible candidate in the third person

Who is Luke?

Companion of Paul

Philemon 24, "and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers."

Physician

Colossians 4:14, "Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas."

Gentile

Colossians 4:10-11, "Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me."

Author of Gospel of Luke

When was Acts written?

Before AD 70 - temple was still standing

Before Paul was martyred - AD 68

No indication of Jewish war (AD 66) or Nero's persecution (AD 64)

James, brother of Jesus still alive (AD 62)

After gentiles started coming the faith (AD 54)

Paul came to Rome AD 60

Acts mentions he was there 2 years (Acts 28:30)

AD 61 - 62 is likely date, while Paul was in prison at Rome.

To whom was Acts written?

Theophilus - lover of God

Likely a greek and person of rank (most excellent)

Possibly any greek who loved God.

Perhaps legal brief in defense of Paul.

To us.

Why was Acts written?

History - records the first 30 years of the Christian church.

Spiritual - confirms the faith of Theophilus

Legal - explains Paul's journeys, not a traitor to Rome

Polemical - Paul not an apostate from Judaism.

Ecclesiastical - unity of Church in doctrine of Apostles.

Missional - provides an accurate account of the early church

Apologetical - God authenticated early church through miracles

What is Acts about?

John 14:12

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

Matthew 16 :18

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

What is Acts about?

Nature of an Epistle

Canonical

While epistles are unique to the New Testament, like other Biblical writings they were inspired by God and intended for the edification of his church.

Peter had letters of Paul that he considered scripture

2 Peter 3:15-16

And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

Paul considered all scripture inspired by God

2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness...

Nature of an Epistle

Doctrinal/Practical

The epistles will generally address both doctrinal issues and pratical application of God's work to all of life. Often they will start with doctrine and conclude with application. Some epistles are almost divided in the middle with doctrine vs application.

Geographical

The epistles were addressed to real churches in real cities that the apostles or others believers had reached with the gospel.
