The book, Acts of the Apostles, is considered to be a history of the early church. It was written by the same author as was the Gospel According to Luke. Unfortunately, the books were originally written anonymously, and we do not know the actual name of the author. The books were only attributed to Luke later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were trying to establish who probably wrote the books of the New Testament.
