Summary:According to what has developed into a majority position over the past 40 years, the author of Luke-Acts presents the early Christian movement as rooted in ancient Judaism to convince readers of its age-old and therefore respected heritage. He thereby attempts to convince the authorities that Christians deserve the same rights, privileges, and protections as the Jews and/or to gain cultural respect. The underlying question of this doctoral dissertation, supervised by N. T. Wright (St Andrews), is how this so-called argument of antiquity (‘the old is good’) works, if at all, in the case of Luke-Acts.
