Acts, the longest book of the New Testament, is the second volume of a two-part work written by the same person who wrote Luke’s Gospel. The style, vocabulary, and theology of both books are strikingly similar. The author of Luke-Acts was neither an apostle nor an eyewitness of Jesus’ ministry (see Luke 1:1-3); rather, he was a “third-generation” Christian who relied on the accounts of others who were themselves dependent upon previous eyewitness reports that circulated orally. New Testament scholar Marla Selvidge describes Acts as a “remarkable and idealistic tale about the origins of the early Christian communities….” The overall story of Luke-Acts is interesting when the two texts are taken together. In the Gospel, Jesus is the central figure; in Acts, it is the church that takes center stage. Thus, the author seems to imply that the church represents a virtually seamless continuation of the work of Jesus Christ here on earth.
