Boys Luke

The author of Luke is traditionally known as Luke himself.  Scholars think that the author of Luke was actually someone who was a personal witness to Jesus' acts.  Although  their are disputes concerning wether Luke was the author of Luke or not.  Paul was one of the followers of luke but he eventually did not wrote luke. Luke probably wrote down all of jesus' acts from his view point, and to his understanding. in the end wee really do not know, because everything as you said in chapel is a hypothesis, and it is not proved. Another thing is that we se a lot of stuff repeated, it is probably there for a reason.

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.

Luke,.,.,.,, Tamara, Jessica, & Ana.

Luke is a gospel in the Christian Bible. It was written around 80-85 AD. It was written in Greek and was probably written by a gentile-Christian. In its dedication perhaps is one of its important features. It is dedicated to Theophilus, if Theophilus was a Roman administrative it is less important, but when seen as a group of people "Beloved by God" it becomes more important. Luke shows the shift between Jewish and Christian, so if Theophilus is a group of God's Beloved it erases the boundaries between Jewish and Christian when it comes to God's love.

Luke was written by a greek speaking christian around 80-85 C.E. Luke's author probably used the sources of Mark,Q, and L. Luke's author probably dedicated Luke to Theophilus who might have been an unknown person in the New Testament. Historians say that Theophilus may have been a Roman administrative official. The importance of the Jerusalem temple is revealed in Luke's birth narrative, because the Jerusalem temple is the place were God's salvation came. one of Luke's main concerns is to show that God's salvation was rejected by the Jewish people and therefore was sent to the Gentiles. Luke shows Jesus as a born prophet being preacher, as a healer being a prophet, and his death as a prophet. Luke shows that everything that happens to Jesus is according to the divine plan.
