Maggie, Lu, Jime

The book of Acts is a book from a two volume work by Luke.  The book of Acts is dedicated to an unknown Theophilus.  The book has been ascribed to Luke.  Just like Luke, Acts was written around 80 to 85 C.E.
There are several themes for the book of Acts: the Jewish origins of Christianity, the portrayal of Jesus as a Jewish prophet, the consequent movement of the religion from the Jews to Gentile, the proclamation of Jew and Gentile, the delay of the time of the end, the rightness of this religion, the complete unity and harmony, and the hand of God directing the course of Christian history.
