Talk:Historical reliability of the Acts of the Apostles

Source 📝

1146:
Sherwin-White believed that Luke not only could make mistakes but actually did, I find it's difficult to interpret that statement as "It's stupid not to accept Acts as historically accurate in every detail". We could explicate Sherwin-White's statement further, to make it clear that he wasn't recommending complete trust in Luke's account. Sherwin-White is certainly sufficiently notable for inclusion, and this particular quote of is his arguably the most publicly prominent in his entire book, so I would like to see it addressed here properly, as opposed to how it's typically encountered online.--
1054:* "The narrative of the Acts contains many details which can be related to information from other sources and help build up a picture of the Roman provinces of Macedonia and Achaia in the middle of the first century of our era. Valuable light is cast on Roman institutions in the provinces, civic life in Greek cities and Roman colonies, economic and social realities, communications, religion, especially Judaism.", Taylor, "The Roman Empire in the Acts of the Apostles", in "Aufstieg und Niedergang der rĂśmischen Welt", p. 2437 (1996). Walter de Gruyter. 774: 500: 475: 798: 401: 698: 667: 567: 577: 546: 851: 830: 708: 203: 286: 265: 234: 296: 1430:)." While this statement is technically true, comparing Josephus, who was relating secular history, with Acts, which is a religious document meant to convert people, is not a conclusion. Josephus existing as a relatively reliable source on Jewish history has nothing to do with the historic accuracy of another document from the same time period. 391: 370: 1044:
Sherwin-White's work is indeed 40 years old, but he does not actually contradict the majority viewpoint. Sherwin-White explicitly identifies Acts as a propaganda narrative, liable to distortions, and believes that Luke made mistakes. His comment here is with regard to the general accuracy of the work
1294:
A direction quotation from the Lüdemann is supplied in the footnote; ‘"There were in fact appearances of the heavenly Jesus in Jerusalem (after those in Galilee)" (ibid., 29-30)”’, Lüdemann quoted by Matthews, ‘Acts and the History of the Earliest Jerusalem Church’, in Cameron & Miller (eds.),
1331:
The article reads like an apologetic description. It oddly mentions criticism from the 1895-1915 as if Acts was in doubt way back then, but not today. It dismisses criticism with the apologetic lable, "hypercriticsm" (without even bothering to detail Harnack's position)but never mentions the well
1248:
The article states "Lüdemann acknowledges the historicity of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances, the names of the early disciples, women disciples, and Judas Iscariot." What the heck? Does anyone other than a believer making claims completely on faith acknowledge the historicity of Jesus being
1015:
For Acts, the confirmation of historicity is overwhelming. Yet Acts is, in simple terms and judged externally, no less of a propaganda narrative than the Gospels, liable to similar distortions. But any attempt to reject its basic historicity even in matters of detail must now appear absurd. Roman
1074:
Tb, sorry. I was away. If we're saying that historians can look to Acts for lots of historical details (other than its account of early Christianity or of Paul's mission), then that's fine. The de Gruyter quote is perfect because it tells us what is historical about Acts. The Sherwin-White quote
969:
I agree. The article seems overly skeptical. For example, to say "By 2017 consensus had emerged among scholars that the letters of Paul are more reliable for information about Paul than Acts ..." is just inaccurate, if not plain wrong. The general historicity has been generally accepted, and the
1252:
I don't have any problem with the rest of that paragraph, talking about whether the disciples believed that Jesus was resurrected. I don't know for sure, but I suppose Acts is some evidence of that. But the historicity of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances looks like a complete whopper to me.
1202:
I find it very worrying that Leadwind is admitting that he removed the quote because he didn't agree with what he thought it implied.That is admitting that he is deliberately unbalancing the article, including quotes that suit him and excluding those that don't. A year later the quote is still
1335:
He does not. 1.) LĂźdemann thinks Peter's experience was triggered by guilt, he certainly doesn't think Jesus ACTUALLY appeared to the disciples. That would be a bizzare conclusion for a non Christian. 2.) Does the author seriously think phrases like " Christ's post-ressurection appearsnces"
1217:
It is clear that Luke had a particular purpose in mind and chose to follow a particular line of events. Any historian must have criteria on what to include and what to exclude, and Luke quite clearly had a theological purpose. It doesn't necessarily follow, however, that Luke was inaccurate.
1176:
Ok. I'll make sure it's properly explicated. I just think it's important to include here because it's so noteworthy, and so frequently quoted out of context. It's misleading for precisely the reason you identify, and it has been misused as a result, but seen in context it actually looks very

I recognize that danger, especially since this is conveniently the only part of Sherwin-White's statement which is typically quoted by Fundamentalists! However, given that it is preceded by "no less of a propaganda narrative than the Gospels, liable to similar distortions", and the fact that

Thanks. I don't actually see how Sherwin-White can be read as saying Acts is a historically reliable account of the early church, not only because he says nothing about its account of the early church but also because he says explicitly "in simple terms and judged externally,

known work of Pervo , Tyson et al? No mention of the Acts Seminar and the author seems to think historical reliability is based on getting names right. Lastly, there's this howler, "Lüdemann acknowledges the historicity of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances."
1364:
You seem to reference the Acts Seminar, which is an offshoot of the controversial Jesus seminar and contains Christ-myth theorists and specifically excluded any Christians from the panel and included specific Jewish scholars (who clearly deny Jesus). How is that

We're talking about current scholarship here, and it never mentions "but not today" it says it was most vehement back then. In much the same way critical scholars though John was unreliable because the Pool of Siloam wasn't found so it was assumed :

If you actually bothered to read Lüdemann's quote it says he acknowledges the historicity of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances because he explains them as multiple visions (pre-supposing Naturalism...but that's another

This section should only list objections by scholars that are not held in common with other scholars' objections. Right now, the way it seems to be used is only as a list of scholars who think that Acts is not reliable.

The phrase "any attempt to reject its basic historicity even in matters of detail must now appear absurd" could be interpreted as saying, "It's stupid not to accept Acts as historically accurate in every detail."
