    Because Acts and Luke go together, we need to look at when Luke was written. To determine when Luke was written, the first thing we need to do is evaluate when the other Synoptic Gospels—Matthew and Mark—were written. Why do we need to do this? Because the most common view is that Luke used material from Mark, and we’re fairly certain that Mark was...

    We can also give some fairly firm early and late dates—in other words, dates that are so early and so late that Acts that it wouldn’t have been possible for Acts to have been written. We can find these early and late dates using evidence from Luke and Acts, as well as looking at remarks from the church fathers. 1. The earliest dateActs could have b...

    Let’s take a look at possible evidence for a date near the end of that range—in other words, in the second century. On a comparison of Luke with material from Marcion, Josephus, Justin Martyr, and the Pseudo-Clementines, some scholars offer a date in the early to mid-second century.21 There are three reasons this is unlikely: 1. The tone of Acts do...

    Scholars usually give five reasons why Acts might have been written between AD 80 and AD 90: 1. The picture of Paul as a hero figure needs time to emerge. 2. The portrait of churches like Ephesus requires a period before the Domitian persecution of the mid-90s. If the church was undergoing intense persecution, it seems Acts would have noted it. 3. ...

    This leaves another possibility, a date somewhere in the 60s. Reasons for this date include the following: 1. The picture in Acts that Rome, knowing little about the movement, is still deciding where Christianity fits. 2. Failure to note the death of either James (AD 62) or Paul (ca. late 60s). 3. The silence about Jerusalem’s destruction, even in ...

    That Paul’s death is not mentioned in Acts may be an indication that it is the early to mid-60s rather than the last third of the 60s, when it would have been more likely Paul had died.

    Others suggest that texts such as Luke 11:49–51 presuppose the start of the struggle with Rome and offer a date in the later 60s. This text says: To get a 60s date for Luke, all the Synoptic Gospels need to be placed before the destruction, since his gospel is often seen to be the third one written. We are fairly certain Mark was written in the 60s...

  3. · Paul appears before Festus and King Herod Agrippa II (Acts 25,26) · Paul appeals to Caesar in Rome (25:11) so Paul is sent to Rome by Festus (25:12) and Agrippa (26:32) · In an attempt to beat the coming winter a ship of prisoners leaves for Rome (Acts 27)

  4. The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost. 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were ...

  5. May 30, 2014 · Acts, however, can be shown to have been written about 30 years after the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We have established that Luke was written prior to Acts, and can put this gospel even closer to the actual events.

  6. Oct 23, 2024 · Acts of the Apostles, fifth book of the New Testament, a valuable history of the early Christian church. Acts was written in Greek, presumably by the Evangelist Luke, whose gospel concludes where Acts begins, namely, with Christ’s Ascension into heaven.
