Is Acts Pseudo-History?

Описание: This episode, we're looking at a fascinating little twist of linguistics that gives us insight into who the author of acts was. Or more accurately, who he wasn't. It's a mystery that can only be puzzled out by comparing ancient versions of the Hebrew Bible in semitic languages (Hebrew or Aramaic) and the Septuagint in Greek. What does all this tell us about who wrote this book? And was that author present for the events he's describing?
