	The Book of Acts & Archeology
		All these radical higher critical views have in common the notion that the book of Acts is a late second century work at best, and is unreliable, and therefore, untrustworthy as a historical source for the earliest years of the church, or for that matter most of the topics it touches upon.
		Acts 25:16 records the statement that "...it is not the Roman custom to hand over any man before he has faced his accusers and has had opportunity to defend himself against their charges." This remark by procurator Festus, written down by Luke, accords perfectly with Roman jurisprudence of the first century (see Sherwin-White, RSRL, p.48).
		Acts has been acquitted by objective testimony and evidence of the serous charges of errors in the geopolitical sphere and conversely has shown itself to be an extremely trustworthy document on the geopolitical landscape of the first century communities it mentions.

	Exploring the Book of Acts
		The traditional name for this book is "Acts of the Apostles," but a more accurate name might be "A Few Acts of a Few of the Apostles." Peter and Paul are particularly prominent; the other apostles play little or no role.
		Speeches in Acts argue that Jesus is the Messiah, that he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, that God raised him from the dead and that he is the answer to Jewish and gentile hopes.
		This is particularly important when we read the epistles of Paul, because, without the book of Acts, we would not know who Paul was or how he entered the picture or what motivated him to preach to gentiles or why he wrote to such far-flung regions.
