Los Apóstoles

The work opens with a careful introduction that frames the early Christian community as a tightly knit family moving together around Jerusalem. Drawing on the sparse but crucial testimonies of the Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline letters, and even the secular historian Josephus, the author reconstructs the social and theological backdrop of the first decades after Jesus. He points out how the Gospel of Luke and Acts share style and purpose, suggesting a single hand behind both. Throughout, the text balances rigorous scholarship with clear explanations, making the complex chronology of the period accessible.

A central theme is the question of authorship. The author argues that the writer of Acts was likely a close companion of Paul, citing the frequent use of the pronoun “we” as evidence of an eyewitness perspective. He also examines alternative explanations, weighing textual clues against the possibility of later redaction. Listeners will be guided through these debates, gaining insight into how historians piece together fragmentary sources to form a plausible picture of the early church.
