Luke-Acts: Why These Two Books Were Meant to Be Read Together

Описание: Why does it matter that Luke and Acts were written as a single work? In your Bible, these two books are separated by the Gospel of John—but the author never intended that. Discover what the author's unique prologue reveals about his sources, methods, and how we should actually read these texts.

📚 KEY CONCEPTS COVERED:
• Luke and Acts form an intentionally unified two-volume work by the same author
• The author openly admits he's not an eyewitness but a careful compiler of sources (Mark, Q, oral traditions)
• "Orderly account" signals literary sophistication, not chronological precision
• The mystery of Theophilus: real patron or symbolic "God-lover"?
• The "we" passages in Acts: what they really tell us about authorship
• How Luke's Gospel fits the ancient bios genre (like biographies of Augustus or Plato)
• Why Acts resembles ancient historiography rather than modern history
