Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theological and Homiletical Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1: Specially Designed and Adapted for the Use of Ministers and Students
The time of its composition cannot be determined with any certainty. From the circumstance that it does not mention the death of Paul, we are not authorized to infer that it was written before that event. There may have been many reasons for its silence. We would rather venture to adopt the Opinion that not only the death of Paul, but also the destruction of Jerusalem, had occurred; for, as Irenaeus relates, Luke wrote his Gospel (the first part, composed at all events before the Acts) after the death of fpeter and Paul. On the other hand, the book could not have been written much later, and therefore it may be referred to the 70th or 80th year of the first century.
