The Historical Reliability of Acts

What happens if we compare the book of Acts with other historical works from the same period? What can we learn about the events recorded by Luke from the world of archaeology? On the last program, we invited Lydia McGrew to discuss the issue of internal evidence for the authenticity of Acts. On today’s program, we’ve invited her back, this time to talk about the issue of “external evidence” that corroborates the historical claims we find throughout Luke’s narrative. Dr. McGrew is the author of Hidden in Plain View as well as The Mirror or the Mask. For a donation of $100, we will send you a copy of Michael Horton’s two-volume work, Justification.
