Which New Testament book has Jesus?

Answer 1

A:

1. All the New Testament books mention Jesus.
2. The four gospels give accounts of the life and mission of Jesus, with Acts of the Apostles containing a continuation of Luke's story of the risen Jesus.
3. Mark's Gospel was the original New Testament book about Jesus.

   The other New Testament gospels were directly (Matthewand Luke) or indirectly (John) based on Mark's account.

Answer 2

A:Acts of the Apostles is is almost universally supposed to be a book of history, but this is not really the case. And there is general agreement that there is no other New Testament book that is primarily a book of history.

John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) says that Acts of the Apostles is theology rather than history. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) more bluntly says that Acts of the Apostles marks the shift in focus for second century mythmaking, away from Jesus and towards the apostles, while Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says the book is a work of Propaganda aimed at Gentile Christians and Gentiles who have not yet become Christians. Hans Joachim Schoeps simply says that Acts has been "believed much too readily." Without even canvassing whether Luke the physician was really the author of Acts, we should rule this out as a useful record of early Church history.

Answer 3

The book of Acts records the history of the church as the gospel is carried by apostles from Jerusalem to Rome. Acts bridges the gap between the ministry of Christ and the and the activities of the apostles.

Christians believe the Acts of the Apostles to be a true record of the spread of the gospel.

Answer 4

Acts of the Apostles is regarded as the principal book of New Testament history. Perhaps it is not actual history, as many scholars now regard Acts as not based on events that actually occurred. Rex Wyler says, in The Jesus Sayings,that historians consider Acts an anonymous work that freely mixes history with legend.
