Shalom; The book of Acts was written by the Apostle Luke, Here and in his Gospel (Luke 1:3) he identifies Theophilus as the recipient to both the book of Luke and the book of Acts. There is nothing more known about Theophilus, other than he was a close friend of Luke. Luke does identify him as the "most excellent" as does Paul to Felix and Festus, both of which were Roman leaders. Theophilus then, may be a Roman leader as well. Shalom Simchat Torah |

One other thing that I would like to add to this. The book of Acts was most probably written to show that Paul was not an enemy of the Romans due to the way that the book is written. This would support the idea that it was written to a Roman leader such as Theophilus. Shalom Simchat Torah |
