About this ebook

Paul and Luke have been accused of reshaping history, concealing apostolic conflict, and turning religious convictions into invented events. Paul and Luke on Trial confronts these accusations through a careful examination of Scripture and historical evidence. Following the crucial years between 33 and 49 CE, it investigates Paul’s conversion, his Jerusalem visits, the acceptance of Cornelius, famine relief, and the first missionary journey. Particular attention goes to Paul’s three-year and fourteen-year intervals and their relationship to Luke’s account in Acts. The investigation culminates in Jerusalem’s decision concerning Gentile believers and the apostolic agreement that supported the expanding mission.

Grounded in the historical-grammatical method, this book defends Paul and Luke as trustworthy witnesses whose writings were directed by the Holy Spirit. It distinguishes genuine contradictions from differences in emphasis, selective narration, and misunderstood chronological expressions. Manuscript evidence, ancient testimony, political titles, and geographical details receive examination without exaggerated claims. Skeptical assumptions face direct scrutiny, while explicit biblical statements remain distinct from proposed historical reconstructions. Written for Christians seeking a substantial defense of Scripture, Paul and Luke on Trial demonstrates why careful attention to the evidence strengthens confidence in the inspired record.
