Some people say that ancient biographers (like the Gospel writers) or historians (like Luke in Acts) freely invented their stories. This claim, however, does not fit the actual evidence. See this five-minute video at:

I haven’t previously posted or linked to reviews of my Acts commentary on this site because I have seen the commentary as serving especially technical readers, but this review by Matthew Sleeman helps give me some ideas for a broader audience. Also, its language is accessible (unlike more technical reviews) but most readers will not find it in some of the expected locations); Matthew and Oak Hill gave me permission to reproduce it here, for those who are interested in it:

I don’t want to set a precedent here, though, since mostly I am posting Bible studies (for edification) and seminary-related cartoons (for entertainment). And Acts is one of my more technical and expensive books. (I don’t set the prices, but as my publishers remind me, I am the one who writes the long books. With the final volume of Acts due out within the next couple months, however, I should have some shorter books coming out next year: The Mind of the Spirit (focusing on the theme of the mind in Paul’s letters); and, still shorter and less technical: Impossible Love; and the NT study notes for a Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible.)
