As the first historian of Christianity, Luke's reliability is
vigorously disputed among scholars. The author of the Acts is often
accused of being a biased, imprecise, and anti-Jewish historian who
created a distorted portrait of Paul. Daniel Marguerat tries to
avoid being caught in this true/false quagmire when examining
Luke's interpretation of history. Instead he combines different
tools - reflection upon historiography, the rules of ancient
historians and narrative criticism - to analyse the Acts and gauge
the historiographical aims of their author. Marguerat examines the
construction of the narrative, the framing of the plot and the
characterization, and places his evaluation firmly in the framework
of ancient historiography, where history reflects tradition and not
documentation. This is a fresh and original approach to the classic
themes of Lucan theology: Christianity between Jerusalem and Rome,
the image of God, the work of the Spirit, the unity of Luke and the
Acts.
