Transcript Overview of Acts

Overview
of
Acts
Summary:
The story of Christians from
the resurrection of Christ to
the first missionary efforts
primarily by Peter
and Paul the Apostles.
 Written by Luke.

Title:

The Title was added some time
after Luke wrote it. Some have
said that the book of Acts would
better be named “Some of the
Acts of some of the Apostles” or
“Acts of the Holy Spirit”.
Author:

According to verse 1 the author
describes himself as having written a
former book. An examination and
comparison to the book of Luke
indicates that Luke was the author of
both books. Luke describes himself
as being an eyewitness to some of this
by using the pronoun “We” such as in
chapter 16:10-13.
Date:

Likely AD 63 to AD 68. Paul not yet
killed and temple not recorded as being
destroyed. It seems unlikely that the book
would have not mentioned the destruction
of Jerusalem in 70 AD if it had yet
happened. Acts 1:19 talks of Jerusalem as
though it has not yet been destroyed.
Scofield believes that this book covers the
first 32 years after the death of Christ.
