The author's purpose is to show that Luke-Acts as a single two-part work has a dominant theme, namely, the universality of God's plan of salvation, regardless of ethnic origins or social status.

Sreview of the Synopic gospel of Acts Chapters 13-28?

Acts is not one of the Synoptic Gospels - they are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Acts can be considered a follow-on or sequel to Luke, since they were written to the same person and evidently by the same author. But Acts is not a Gospel.


Which bible book is the only sequel in the canon of scripture?

What books of the Bible are addressed to Theophilus?

Did Saint Luke wrote the book Acts for a Roman soldier sailor or merchant?

Yes the apostle Luke wrote the book of Acts.


Who wrote the book of The Acts Of The Apostles?

Another Answer from our community:The Book of Acts is commonly attributed to Luke as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It reflects the history of the Apostles for the first 12 years after the Resurrection and then speaks primarily of Paul's works.The external evidence that Luke wrote Acts is early, strong, and widespread. The early church fathers Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen all agree on Luke's authorship of Acts. So do nearly all who follow them in church history, including such authorities as Eusebius and Jerome.The internal evidence in Acts itself that Luke wrote it is threefold. In the beginning of Acts, the writer specifically refers to an earlier work, also dedicated to Theophilus. Luk_1:1-4 shows that the Third Gospel is the account that is meant. The style, compassionate outlook, vocabulary, apologetic emphasis, and many small details tie the two works together.Another AnswerI am slightly confused as to the wording of the question. If you are asking who wrote the book of Acts, tradition states Luke, judging from the first four verses of Luke and the first three of Acts. This is just tradition, seeing that there is no actual page anywhere stating, "The Acts of the Apostles, by Jack the Ripper."
