Luke's Gospel is addressed to Theophilus, saying that it is a declaration of those things that the author's Christian community believed to be true.

There is much debate about Theophilus, as to whether:

• Theophilus was an actual person;
• Theophilus, a name which means 'Loved by God', represented all Christians;
• The name Theophilus, which means 'Loved by God', was really a transvaluation of the name Epaphroditus ('Touched by Aphrodite'), a person to whom the Jewish historian Josephus dedicated Antiquities of the Jews in 93 CE. The author of Luke's Gospel is known to have used material from the works of Josephus to add historical interest. This usage is consistent with the classical Greek tradition for acknowledging a source from which material was used.
