Do you date it shortly after Paul's Roman imprisonment (before the outcome of his trial and death) or do you assign the more commonly accepted later date? It's obviously an important question as it influences us on how we date the Synoptics, whether we see the Olivet Discourse as predictive or retrospective (by this I mean in relation as to when it was compiled into a finished or primitive version of the gospel documents themselves), and certainly the issue bears weight on sourcing questions. If one were to argue that Acts was not a strict chronological document per se, then perhaps material was arranged specifically to develop a literary realization of 1:8 (with the book ending in Rome after having traveled through the "ends of the earth"), even if perhaps it didn't "really" happen in the chronological order recorded in Acts.Bill Barnwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519140832310178588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-1163504251574201362006-11-14T06:37:00.000-05:002006-11-14T06:37:00.000-05:00Absolutely...Absolutely...Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-1163413766730947842006-11-13T05:29:00.000-05:002006-11-13T05:29:00.000-05:00Wouldn't you say a trifle more significant than th...Wouldn't you say a trifle more significant than this issue, eh?
