Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in the Acts of the Apostles On the contrary, he refers to the city as if still in its grandeur, speaks of the Temple services as if still being observed, and alludes to individual localities, such, e.g., as Solomon´s Porch, as if existing and well known. Had the terrible tragedies accompanying the siege and fall of Jerusalem taken place, there would almost certainly have been some reference to them. We know that Jerusalem was destroyed in the year A. D. 70. It is therefore concluded that the Book of Acts was written before that date. It has been noticed further that the writer makes no mention of the death of the Apostle Paul. If he had known that the Apostle had actually laid down his life for the Gospel, he could hardly have avoided mention of the fact. Now St. Paul was martyred at Rome probably about the year A. D. 67 or 68, and we therefore conclude that this Book was written before that date. The absence, moreover, of any reference to the writings of St. Paul or to those heresies which disturbed the peace of the Church in the later years of the first century confirms this view. It is believed, therefore, that the Book was written between the years A. D. 63 and 70, and the general opinion is that it was written at Rome. 3. The Dedication. - The Book is dedicated to Theophilus - the same to whom the Gospel of St. Luke is dedicated. Nothing is known of this person, but from the epithet "most excellent" applied to him, it has been concluded by some that he was a person of rank, holding some high official position. Others have doubted whether he was a real person at all, and have suggested that the word (which means "lover of God") is merely a name intended to indicate any believer. 4. The Author. - The author´s name is nowhere mentioned in the Book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
