The Date Of The Acts And Of The Synoptic Gospels

by Adolf von Harnack, John Richard Wilkinson (Translator)

The Date Of The Acts And Of The Synoptic Gospels is a book written by Adolf Harnack and originally published in 1911. The book explores the historical context and dating of the Acts of the Apostles and the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) in the New Testament of the Bible. Harnack, a German theologian and historian, examines the evidence for the dating of these texts and argues for a later date than had previously been accepted by many scholars. He also considers the implications of these datings for the historical accuracy and reliability of the New Testament. The book is a significant contribution to the field of New Testament studies and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Carl Gustav Adolf von Harnack (7 May 1851 – 10 June 1930) was a German Lutheran theologian and prominent church historian. He produced many religious publications from 1873 to 1912 (in which he is sometimes credited as Adolf Harnack).

Harnack traced the influence of Hellenistic philosophy on early Christian writing and called on Christians to question the authenticity of doctrines that arose in the early Christian church. He rejected the historicity of the Gospel of John in favor of the Synoptic Gospels, criticized the Apostles' Creed, and promoted the Social Gospel.
