Editors are not supposed to hide their identities in order to address readers' concerns through making use of prefaces, appendices, commentaries, and other such remarks that entail redaction, which the author collectively refers to here as editorial notes to the reader. As we may have already observed, such an editorial note is shown in Jn 21. The author, in this chapter, asserts that Jn 21 may have gotten reference not just from John's Gospel but possibly also from the Four-Gospel Book. Apart from examining the relative chronology and the arrangement of the Gospels, we also consider how the Book of Acts, 2 Timothy, and 2 Peter may also reveal implications of the editorial concept attributed to the final redaction of this edition.Less

This chapter looks at The Book of Acts again, briefly, in its own right. Sometimes Luke-Acts has been treated as one. Sometimes each book is taken up separately, the way the canonical arrangement presents them. In The Oxford Bible Series, Acts has been referred to in fixing Luke's Gospel as to place and time. There are also connections between Acts and Paul, Acts and Peter, and Acts and Timothy. By its contents and location in the canon, the Book of Acts links the gospels with the epistles, Jesus with the Church, a time when Jesus went about doing good and healing with a time when Christians are also to do good and heal all in light of God's benefactions. However, for Luke, the experiences, even though he moulded them into a certain unity, were too powerful to be put into a neat uniformity of doctrine.Less

This chapter explores the “Book of Acts”, or the “Acts of the Apostles”. The chapter looks at the preface, narratives, speeches, and other letters in chronological order. This book was mainly intended for Theophilus as well as other readers and its primarily focus was the speeches of two figures: Peter and Paul. The next part of the chapter presents a discussion on the rhetorical features of discourses in Acts.Less
