Luke

SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR CONTENT THREADS.
Bible Question:  Both Luke's gospel and Acts begin with him addressing a "most excellent Theophilus." Did Luke's writing begin as some sort of legal brief or presentation of a defense for a judge?

Bible Answer:  Greetings,

Theophilus was more than likely a roman official, and someone very wealthy. He apparently hired Dr. Luke to provide a history of christianity. I doubt that his works were for a legal brief due to the work and effort he went into writing them. Dr. Luke specifially mentions in one place that he visited the actual places, and spoke to eye witnesses, as well as being an eye witness himself for many of the events in Acts.
