The scholarly interpretation of the
Acts of the Apostles throughout the twentieth century has been shaped by a dynamic interplay of historical developments, methodological shifts, theological debates, and new discoveries in biblical studies. The book of Acts, attributed to the evangelist Luke, stands at the intersection of history and theology, presenting a narrative that traces the expansion of early Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome. Over the past century, scholars have grappled with fundamental questions regarding its historical reliability, literary composition, theological intent, and social context. These inquiries have been influenced by broader intellectual movements such as historical positivism, form criticism, redaction criticism, literary theory, and the increasing interest in sociological and postcolonial perspectives. This book seeks to provide an analytical foundation by exploring the historical trajectory of Acts scholarship in the twentieth century, examining key figures, significant works, and the major conceptual frameworks that have emerged.
