The author of ""Acts"" unwittingly committed a near-perfect crime:
He told his story so well that all rival accounts vanished with but
the faintest of traces. And thus future generations were left with
no documents that recount the history of the early Christian
tradition - because ""Acts"" is not history. According to Richard
Pervo, '""Acts"" is a beautiful house that readers may happily
admire, but it is not a home in which the historian can responsibly
live'. Luke did not even aspire to write history but rather told
his story to defend the gentile communities of his day as the
legitimate heirs of Israelite religion. In ""The Mystery of Acts"",
Pervo explores the problem of history in ""Acts"" by asking, and
answering, the fundamental questions: Who wrote ""Acts""? Where was
""Acts"" written? When was ""Acts"" written? Why was ""Acts""
written? How was ""Acts"" written? The result is a veritable
tour-de-force that enlightens, entertains, and brings ""Acts"" to
life.
