Reviews

'The Acts of the Apostles has been assigned to various dates in early imperial history with a scholarly consensus falling between 80 and 90 CE. Drew Billings is not convinced by the grounds cited for that period. He considers that consensus to be based on a compromise between claims that the author is an eyewitness of the events described and skepticism about that claim. His original approach to this problem is to invite us to recognize that the Lukan narrative is a rhetorical construction of whatever original facts there might exist behind such a reshaping.' Allen Brent, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
