Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Biblical Illustrator, or Anecdotes, Similes, Emblems, Illustrations, Vol. 1: Expository, Scientific, Geographical, Historical, and Homiletic, Gathered From a Wide Range of Home and Foreign Literature, on the Verses of the Bible
Dun or m Tmn Gosrm - From Acts i. 1, it is clear that it was written before the Acts, which (see Acts xxviii. 30, 81) must have been completed about the end of the second year of St. Paul's imprisonment, that is, about am. 68. How much earlier this former treatise may have been written is uncertain. But Dean Alford remarks that the words imply some considerable interval between the two productions. The opinion of the younger Thiersch thus becomes very probable, that it was written at Cwsarea during St. Paul's imprisonment there, an. 58 - 60. The Gospel of St. Matthew was probably written about the same time; and neither Evangelist appears to have used the other, although both made use of that form of oral teaching which the apostles had gradually come to employ. (archbishop Thomson.)
