1 | Was theophilus a minister | Acts 1:1 | Simchat Torah | 53056 | ||
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 |

Dear Simchat Torah, not meaning to play the pedant with you, gentle sir, but I would point out that Luke, to whom tradition ascribes authorship of both the third Gospel and Acts, was not an apostle if we take 'apostle' to mean the original twelve plus the later additions of Matthias and Paul. --Hank | ||||||
