The Acts of the Apostles is not history. Acts was long thought to
be a first-century document, and its author Luke to be a disciple
of Paul-thus an eyewitness or acquaintance of eyewitnesses to
nascent Christianity. Acts was considered history, pure and simple.
But the Acts Seminar, a decade-long collaborative project by
scholars affiliated with the Westar Institute, concluded that dates
from the second century. That conclusion directly challenges the
view of Acts as history and raises a host of new questions,
addressed in this final report. The Acts Seminar began
deliberations in 2001, with the task of going through the canonical
Acts of the Apostles from beginning to end and evaluating it for
historical accuracy. Contributors include: Ruben Dupertuis,
