He's enjoyed Acts since his older brother's name is Luke. So it was natural to point out the moment in which the pronouns turned to first person. "This was the time when Luke joined the team and could write as an eyewitness," I explained. It remains to me the most obvious explanation. Challengers to this explanation love to bring up Occam's Razor in other arguments, but they don't do it here. I'm not a big fan of Occam's Razor. An evangelistic discussion with a Muslim led to him trying to explain that the Trinity was too complicated and that the Muslim view was much simpler. I explained that simple doesn't equate to true. In the case of Lukan authorship, there is plenty of internal and external evidence to demonstrate that Luke is indeed the author.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-88427169257997341682014-10-06T05:48:40.791-04:002014-10-06T05:48:40.791-04:00Sounds good to me Jason,
I like that Keener guy! ...Sounds good to me Jason,<br /><br />I like that Keener guy! His new book looks like a great resource.<br /><br />Yet it is my speculation that Luke was only included among the apostles at that great Pentecost event. That's when Luke's detail appears to take a quantum leap. And when Luke marveled at having 'all things in common with believers' (Acts 2:44, 4:32). <br /><br />I develop that theory a bit here for my Sunday School class- http://quizzingdv.blogspot.ca/2014/08/acts-2a-holy-spirit-comes.htmlRon Van Brenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623171051016737306noreply@blogger.com
