New Testament History and Literature with Dale B. Martin - 10. The Acts of the Apostles

Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) The speech that Stephen gives before his accusers in Acts shows how the author of Luke-Acts used and edited his sources. So, also, does the description of the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke, as compared to that in Mark. The major themes of Luke-Acts are 1) the Gospel going first to the Jews and then to gentiles and 2) that of the prophet-martyr, with Jesus as the prophet-martyr par excellence. 00:00 - Chapter 1.
