The Beginnings of Christianity, Part I: The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. II: Prolegomena II
Overview
Broaden your study of Acts with insights and discussions from some of the leading international scholars of the early nineteenth century. In this volume, F. J. Foakes-Jackson and Kirsopp Lake examine the difficult questions surrounding the composition and authorship of Acts, including a detailed history of how critical scholars have addressed these issues. Their analysis of the composition and purpose of Acts includes chapters on the Greek and Jewish traditions of writing history, the use of the Greek language and of the Septuagint in Acts, as well as a chapter on the internal evidence of Acts. The case for traditional authorship is delineated with an explanation of the evidence both for and against offered respectively by scholars C. W. Emmet and H. Windisch. The section outlining the history of criticism of Acts includes a chapter on German scholarship by A. C. McGiffert and a chapter on British scholarship by J. W. Hunkin.
