To what extent were the Apostles in Acts aware of specific details of the life of Jesus?

A:According to the author of Acts, the apostles in the book were the same disciples who accompanied Jesus in his mission, so they would have been very aware of details in the life of Jesus. However, Hans Joachim Schoeps (Das Judenchristentum) says that in reality Acts is only a retrospective view of Christian origins written by one party - the winners. He says that Acts cultivates the creation of legends and reshapes persons and events according to its own standards. So it may be true that the characters such as Peter and his fellow apostles knew many specific details about Jesus, but care should be taken in believing everything in Acts of the Apostles. Schoeps says Acts has been believed much too readily.
