This is an interesting question, and one that needs addressing.
Firstly, Josephus is a member ofthe royal and priestly line, and some of his relatives became high priests. He clearly lived a privileged life, and was respected by a number of emperors, and other high ranking Romans, for his...
Josephus may have been 'very aware ofthe Christian movement within his country', but he didn't record much information about it. During the first year ofthe war of 66-73 AD he was appointed general ofthe Jewish forces in Galilee, and in The Jewish War, III, 500-520 he gives a detailed...
Seems like the majority of scholars don't know who wrote 2 Peter 3:15-16. As for Luke and Acts, they don't know who wrote those either, and according to Luke 1:1-3, Luke was simply a teller other people's tales, with no source material given as to the actual witnesses. As for the separate...

Here: Acts and the Gospel of Luke make up a...
Some words in the language ofthe writing such as quick do not have a good corresponding word for the same in another language.
I think that it is helpful to look at other scriptures which have the same word. For instance Luke 18:8 ActsoftheApostles12:7 ActsoftheApostles 22:18 Actsof...
