Excerpt from The New Testament: Of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the Original Greek; With Introductions and Notes; The Acts of the Apostles

No portion of Holy Writ has been made the occasion of more controversy as to its design than the Acts of the Apostles.

Some have said that it is composed without any specific plan, and that it is merely a collection, imperfect and fragmentary, of such materials concerning the primitive Church, as happened to be accessible to the writer. It has been argued from its inscription to Theophilus, that it was designed only for the use of a private Christian. It has been observed, that it records only some actions of two of the Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul; and that it says nothing of their Epistles, or of the martyrdom of either, and that it terminates unexpectedly with St. Paul's first visit to Rome. And it is alleged, that its title, "the Acts of the Apostles," disappoints the reader, and can hardly have been assigned to it by the writer himself.

Others, in recent times, profess to have discovered in this book a design to vindicate St. Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, from the charges of those who contrasted his teaching with that of St. Peter, the Apostle of the Circumcision; as if the one were contradictory to the other. And others, accepting this hypothesis concerning the Acts, have proceeded so far as to affirm, that the view presented to us there, of St. Paul's teaching, is inconsistent with the tenour of St. Paul's Epistles.

The tendency of these theories is evidently to invalidate its Authority, and to undermine the foundations of its Genuineness and Inspiration.
