The First Christian Historian: Writing the 'Acts of the Apostles' (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series) Book

Luke's book of the Acts of the Apostles is the only documentation we have on the birth of Christianity, and the author's reliability as a historian is today vigorously disputed among scholars. Daniel Marguerat avoids this true/false quagmire by setting his evaluation of Luke's talent as a historian firmly within the framework of ancient historiography, the rules of ancient historians and narrative criticism. His study reveals Luke to be a skilful theologian and a sound theologian, and provides a fresh approach to the classic themes of Lucan theology.Read More
