Description
Book SynopsisKarl L. Armstrong received his PhD (Christian Theology) from McMaster Divinity College, Canada.
Trade ReviewArmstrong has written a major work of scholarship defending the early date for Acts, and he has given weight to seeing the terminus of the events described in the text as representing the limits of the author’s knowledge of events that had transpired. * Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies *
Armstrong’s work takes seriously the historical content of Acts and persistently pursues the difficult problems that are too often dismissed as intractable. * ARYS: Antigüedad: Religiones y Sociedades *
