Bible Question:
When Luke wrote both of his books he wrote to 'Theophilus'. Theophilus was the name of the son of Ananus (and) there was a Theophilus in the church of Antioch. Did Luke write to either one of these or someone else? elbib |
Bible Answer: "Theophilus. His name means 'dear to God,' or 'friend of God.' He is unknown otherwise, but the form of the address shows that he was a person of high rank." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, p. 1542) |
