Sinopsis

Excerpt from Short Notes on the Text of the Acts of the Apostles

This book is in the main a reprint of notes drawn up for the use of my own pupils in 1867.

Many references to Thucydides will be found in these notes and for the following reason: it seems certain to me that the Author of the Acts was very familiar with certain parts of the History of Thucydides, and that much of what he read in Thucydides made a strong impression on his mind. I have no doubt whatever that he had studied with great care the whole of the Sixth Book of Thucydides; that he had read attentively a large portion of the Eighth Book; and that he was acquainted with some parts of the other Books. I have stated the reasons which have led me to this conclusion in a pamphlet, circulated privately in 1883. I will gladly send a copy of this pam phlet to any one who may desire to examine the evidence adduced by me in support of my opinion.
