The Book Of Acts In The Setting Of Hellenistic History by Oscar Hemer
A rigorous historical study that places the narrative of Acts within the social, political, and cultural milieu of the Greco-Roman world, using epigraphy, geography, archaeology, and classical literature to test its details. It examines local titles, civic institutions, travel routes, and maritime practices across the eastern Mediterranean, correlating them with inscriptions and historical data. The analysis argues that the text displays precise firsthand knowledge of first-century Hellenistic settings and a credible chronology, supporting its reliability in numerous particulars.
