Author: Traditionally Luke (the same author as the Gospel of Luke).

Context: Acts provides a bridge between Jesus’ life (Gospels) and the Epistles. Written for a Gentile audience, it explains how Christianity moved outward from Jerusalem, emphasizing continuity with Jewish scripture and the role of the Holy Spirit.
