ACTS OF THE APOSTLES (4) | DATE

1. Date

a) Acts ends abruptly with the imprisonment of Paul in Rome, which occurred around 62 A.D., so it is natural to assume it was written shortly after that. However, for a variety of reasons, many scholars believe it was written as much as 30 years later. The most common estimates are that Luke and Acts were written between 80 and 90 A.D., but the exact date remains a mystery.
