Bible Question: Does Anyone Know the Birthdate or Year of Paul? What date was Acts Written? melvinabercrombie@yahoo.com thank you |
Bible Answer: Greetings, The book of acts was possibly written about 63 AD. One of the reasons why this date is given is because Luke doesn't mention the deaths of Peter and Paul which happened around 67 AD, nor does he mention the burning of Rome in 64 AD. Furthermore, he doesn't say anything about the destruction of the temple. He closes Acts with Paul awaiting trial, but doesn't mention the results of that trial. So, the likeliest date is 63 AD. As far as when Paul was born, we can only speculate. The dates of his birth range from 5 BC to 5 AD. Jalek |
