The Acts of the Apostles

The Acts of the Apostles is a text contained in the New Testament, written in ancient Greek. Its final editing probably dates back to around 80-90, but dates around 60-70 AD have also been proposed. Christian tradition attributes it to Luke, Paul's co-worker and author of the Gospel according to Luke.

Acts consists of 28 chapters and tells the story of the Christian community from the ascension of Jesus (1:6-11) until Paul's arrival in Rome (28:16), covering a period from approximately 30 to 63 AD. In addition to Paul, the work also dwells at length on the work of the Apostle Peter.

The book describes the rapid development, expansion and organisation of the Christian witness first among the Jews and then in the nations bordering the Mediterranean.
