Acts of the Apostles.
AnswerActs of the Apostles is the New Testament book quite widely thought of as a book of history, covering the actual history of the early Church. However, New Testament scholars see it otherwise. John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) says that Acts of the Apostles is theology rather than history.Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) more bluntly says that Acts of the Apostles marks the shift in focus for second century mythmaking, away from Jesus and towards the apostles, while Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says the book is a work of Propaganda aimed at Gentile Christians and Gentiles who have not yet become Christians.

Acts of the Apostles has long been regarded as a history of the early Church. The Acts Seminar was set up to review the book carefully and look for evidence of historicity in Acts. It determined that the book was written in the second century and does not accurately record events and personalities of the early church. Scholars participating in the Seminar concluded (See Acts and Christian Beginnings) that Acts is "a primary resource for understanding second-century Christianity", as the book writes of events and purported events in the time of Peter and Paul as if they took place at the time of writing.
