Luke Was Not a Christian: Reading the Third Gospel and Acts Within Judaism

In this volume Joshua Paul Smith challenges the long-held belief that the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were written by a gentile Christian. Instead, Smith argues that the author of these texts was educated and socialized within a Hellenistic Jewish context.
