    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.
