Best Answer

The books of Luke and Acts, both written by Luke, were thought by some to have been written as one work in two volumes. Luke himself makes clear that they are both written to one Theophilus and the subject matter follows on from one into the other. In Acts 1 Luke refers to 'the former treatise' (the Gospel of Luke) which suggests that they were two separate works although they could have been in two volumes or certainly in two scrolls.

The gospel books written by apostles are the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of John. Matthew was one of the twelve apostles and John was also an apostle and the author of several other books in the New Testament.

A:

A second-century tradition is that the Gospels of Matthew and John were written by apostles, although the books were originally anonymous. Modern New Testament scholars say that this was not the case, as none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed.

A:

The two books traditionally attributed to Luke are Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. However both books were originally anonymous and the consensus of scholars is that Luke, the physician companion of Paul, is quite unlikely to have been the real author. The two books were written by the same author and, for convenience, scholars continue to call this author 'Luke'.

What two books did Luke the physician write in the New Testament?

A:Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles are two books of the New Testament that are traditionally attributed to Luke, a physician and companion of Paul. However, these books were originally anonymous and were only attributed to Luke later in the second century. New Testament scholars say there is no good reason to accept these attributions. Furthermore, Luke 1:1-2 say that the book contains those things which are believed among the author's group and which were passed down, coming originally (he presumes) from eyewitnesses. Not a word in that passage of learning the gospel from Paul, but it implies that the author assumes that the source from which he received the gospel did not receive it from an eyewitness either. We now know that the sources mentioned in this passage were Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document. Thus, we know two books attributed to a doctor, but we do not know any books actually written by a doctor.


Are matthias and matthew the same person?

No, Matthias and Matthew are not the same person. Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot among the twelve apostles, while Matthew was one of the twelve apostles and the author of the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible.


When was the second gospel written?

There is strong evidence that the first gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written within two or three years of the year 70 CE. The second gospel, Matthew's Gospel is widely believed to have been written around 85 CE, although Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) suggests an allowance of about ten years either way.


Which books in the bible are written in pairs?

The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles, as well as 1 and 2 Samuel, are examples of pairs in the Bible. These pairs of books provide complementary perspectives on the historical events and figures they cover.


What books of the Bible did Luke write?

Christians believe Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. Several of the early church fathers, including Irenaeus, Tertullian and Clement of Alexandria consider the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke. The content of Luke and Acts lead to the conclusion they were written to the same person - Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1 - and by the same author - Acts 1:1.

How many books in the new testament did St. Luke write?

St. Luke wrote two books in the New Testament: the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.


Are Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles two parts of a comprehensive work?

A:Yes. This is evident not only from the consistent style of the books, but from the opening addesses to Theophilus. We do not know the real author of Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, but they are believed to have been written around the end of the first century.


What books of the Bible did the disciples write?

Most of the books of the New Testament were written by apostles or other disciples of Jesus Christ. Matthew the apostle wrote a gospel. John the apostle wrote a gospel, three epistles and Revelation. Peter the apostle wrote two epistles, although recent scholarship has indicated that "2 Peter" was written many decades after his death by a follower. James and Jude each wrote an epistle, but they are probably not the two apostles by those names but two others known as brothers of the Lord. Mark, a follower of Peter, wrote a gospel. Luke, a follower of Paul, wrote a gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Paul, an apostle but not one of the twelve who followed Jesus Christ during his public life, wrote 13 epistles. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews is unknown.


Which two books of the Bible were written by a physician?

According to Colossians 4:14 ("Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you."), Luke the companion of Paul was a physician. This information should be treated with caution, as a majority of critical scholars believe that Colossians was not really written by Paul, but was written pseudepigraphically in the 70s of the first century - probably by someone who had never met Luke.According to a tradition originating later in the second century, the gospel now known as Luke's Gospel was written by Luke, as was Acts of the Apostles, according to the same tradition. However, the books were originally anonymous and were probably not written by Luke.In summary: Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were probably not really written by Luke, but even if they were, Luke may not have been a physician. However, these are the two books intended by the question.


Did Luke write other books in the bible?

No, Luke did not write other books in the Bible. Besides the Gospel of Luke, he is also believed to be the author of the Book of Acts. These two books are the only ones attributed to Luke in the New Testament.

What did Luke write after his gospel?

AnswerThe author of what is now known as Luke's Gospel then wrote Acts of the Apostles, forming a two-volume set.


What Gospels were written by apostles?

This is a matter of some debate. On the face of it, the answer would be Matthew and John. However, many scholars would say that ascribing these books to actual apostles is wrong - they would say that they were written by followers of Matthew of John and contain the stories and teachings of these two apostles, but that the apostles themselves did not write these books. Luke is written by a physician friend of Paul, and claims to a thoroughly researched account of all that Jesus said and did. Luke derives its apostolic authority from Paul. Mark is held to be the first gospel written and may have been written by the Mark who accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys. The ancient tradition held that Mark is associated with Peter - perhaps he was Peter's interpreter in Rome - and Mark obtains its apostolic heritage from Peter.


What percentage of the new testment did Luke write?

As far as I know, he wrote two books of the bible, the Gospel of Luke, and Acts of the Apostles. There are 27 books in the New Testament, so 2/27. I don't know the exact percentage as far as amount of content, though.


Did John write anything else other that the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation?

These were two different Johns, attributed to two different books.


Which Acts did Luke write?

In the New Testament, Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles comprise a two-volume set written by the same author and fairly close in time to each other. Since they were attributed to Luke the physician later in the second century, it has been accepted that both books were indeed written by Luke.However, the author is actually unknown, as the Gospel and Acts were originally anonymous. The prologue to Luke's Gospel indicates that the author did not know Paul, but that what he believed were those things that were handed down from others, in a line back to men who must have been eyewitnesses. This is one of a number of reasons that scholars no longer believe that Luke the physician wrote Acts of the Apostles.


Why are there two different books of the bible called john?

The apostle John wrote a few books or letters that appear in scripture. John wrote the Gospel of John. John also wrote the letters 1st John, 2nd. John and 3rd. John. John is believed to have written the book of Revelation as well. There are only two "books" in scripture written by John, and that's the Gospel of John and the "Revelation of Jesus Christ," commonly called "Revelation."
