Hans Joachim Schoeps (Das Judenchristentum) says that Acts is a retrospective view of Christian origins written by the winners, cultivating the creation of legends and reshaping persons and events according to its own standards. There is a suggestion in this passage of rivalry between the otherwise unknown Simon and the supposed predecessors of the author of Acts of the Apostles. As suggested more generally by Schoeps, the real meaning could be that Simon was the leader of one of the various Christian movements known to have existed in the middle of the first century, and that the author of Acts is rewriting history to darken Simon's name and ensure that Christians did not follow his teachings.
