Richard I. Pervo has taught at Seabury-Western Seminary and the
University of Minnesota and is the author of numerous books in New
Testament studies. He lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Mikeal C. Parsons is Professor and Macon Chair in Religion at
Baylor University, where he has taught since 1986. He has authored,
co-authored, or edited more than twenty-five books and numerous
articles and essays. With Heidi J. Hornik, Parsons co-wrote the
Illuminating Luke trilogy (T & T Clark). He also co-authored the
Baylor handbook on the Greek Text of Luke and Acts and published
commentaries on Luke and Acts in the Paideia Series, which he
co-edits.
"If the history of scholarship proves one thing, it is certainly this, that reiteration of a conclusion does not necessarily establish its validity. Is Acts the sequel of the Gospel of Luke? Many have answered affirmatively, and some without even bothering to ask the question. Professors Parsons and Pervo argue that the two works are independent narratives, each telling the story differently. In the course of their challenge of alleged generic continuity, the authors focus on the early writer's Christology as a fruitful clue to the unity, not of Luke-Acts, but of Luke and Acts."
