The author is traditionally identified as Luke the Evangelist ; see Authorship of Luke – Acts for details.

Evidence for this is found in the prologue to the Gospel of Luke, wherein the author alludes to his sources by writing, " Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

In Luke 1: 3-4, the author states that he decided to “ write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the truth concerning the things about which you have been instructed .” Theophilus is Greek for lover of God and it is suggested that he may either be an individual who recently converted to the faith or a Roman official of whom the church is seeking acceptance from.

Though the preface initially states Luke ’ s intentions for writing, by closely examining the contents of the work as a whole, scholars have surmised that Luke ’ s purpose is much more complex.

In fact, Fitzmyer believes that the preface of Luke should only be “ the starting point in the discussion of the aim of Luke-Acts .” Because the author ’ s intended purpose for the Book of Acts is not that straightforward, scholars have put forth four main claims to address this.

It is has been argued that Luke may be writing: a letter of apology ( traditionally a defense for one ’ s beliefs ), a letter of legitimation for Christian beliefs, a letter to equip the church to function amidst the Roman Empire, or a letter that is apolitical.

Many who side with this view disagree that Luke portrays Christianity or the Roman Empire as harmless and thus reject the apologetic view because “ Acts does not present Christians as politically harmless or law abiding for there are a large number of public controversies concerning Christianity, particularly featuring Paul .” For example, to support this view Cassidy references how Paul is accused of going against the Emperor because he is “ saying that there is another king named Jesus .” ( Acts 17: 7 ) Furthermore, there are multiple examples of Paul ’ s preaching causing uprisings in various cities ( Acts 14: 2 ; 14: 19 ; 16: 19-23 ; 17: 5 ; 17: 13-14 ; 19: 28-40 ; 21: 27 ).

He believes that Luke ’ s purpose was to share his faith in Jesus, to provide guidance for living under Roman role and to inform believers of how to act if put on trial.

" ( Acts 28: 14-15 ) While Walton agrees that Luke ’ s main concern is apolitical, he believes that “ there is too much politically sensitive material for this view to be tenable when Luke-Acts is read in its first-century settings, both Jewish and Greco-Roman .”

The standard for these progress reports is in 2: 46 – 47, where Luke describes the impact of the gospel on the new church in Jerusalem.

Examples of prayer which are unique to Luke include Jesus's prayers at the time of his baptism (), his praying all night before choosing the twelve (), and praying for the transfiguration ().

Jesus himself participated in this sort of service as a reader and commentator ( see Gospel of Luke ) and his followers probably remained worshipers in synagogues in some cities, for example the Cenacle in Jerusalem.

Musician Jack Bessant, the bass guitarist with the band Reef grew up on his parents ' strawberry farm, and Matt Goss and Luke Goss, former members of Bros, lived in Cheddar for nine months as children.

He argues against the idea that Christians should reject their family for an ascetic life, which stems from Luke, contending that Jesus would not have contradicted the precept to " Honour thy Father and thy Mother " ( Exodus ), one of the Ten Commandments.

Luke presented Jesus as the Son of God, but turned his attention especially to the humanity of Jesus, featuring His compassion for the weak, the suffering and the outcast.

Most modern critical scholarship concludes that Luke used the Gospel of Mark for his chronology and a hypothetical sayings source Q document for many of Jesus ' teachings.

For most scholars, the Q collection accounts for what the gospels of Luke and Matthew share but are not found in Mark.

The understanding that Mark was the first of the synoptic gospels and that it served as a source for Matthew and Luke is foundational to modern critical scholarship.

Traditionally Luke has been regarded as written by Luke the Evangelist some time between the " we " passages in Acts 16 onwards and the imprisonment of Paul in Rome in Acts 28, leading as with some modern scholars to argue for a date c. 60-65.
