Excerpt from The Composition and Date of Acts
N ow Aramaic is not an unknown language, and we have consider able familiarity with the principles and methods of those who rendered Semitic documents into Greek at the beginning of the present era. The question, too, is one of far-reaching importance. In a writing of the character and extent of the first half of Acts it would ordinarily be possible to determine whether the Greek is a translation, and if so, from what language the version was made. In the present case, by good fortune, the material at hand for the demonstration is more than usually Satisfactory. I am confident that those who examine the evidence carefully will find it conclusive.
