The Dating of the New Testament



One moment, please
This summary of the book of Acts provides information about the title, author s , date of writing, chronology, theme, theology, outline, a brief overview, and the chapters of the Book of Acts. Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. The earliest of the external testimonies appears in the Muratorian Canon c. Two dates are possible for the writing of this book: 1 c. Those who prefer the later date hold that see note there reveals one of the purposes Luke had in writing his history, and that this purpose influenced the way the book ended.


Chapters for Acts
Acts of the Apostles is unique among known Christian texts of the three centuries in purporting to give a continuous narrative of early developments and figures in the first decades of the young Christian movement. Scholarly questions about, and interest in, this major text continue, and have even received renewed attention in recent years. Craig S. Keener, Acts: An Exegetical Commentary.

When the New Testament was written is a significant issue, as one assembles the overall argument for Christianity. Confidence in the historical accuracy of these documents depends partly on whether they were written by eyewitnesses and contemporaries to the events described, as the Bible claims. Negative critical scholars strengthen their own views as they separate the actual events from the writings by as much time as possible. For this reason radical scholars argue for late first century, and if possible second century, dates for the autographs [original manuscripts].
