Dating of Luke
- Early Date
(Before AD70)
- Matt Slick, Harnack, Bruce and Munck agree on this
- None of the gospels mention the destruction of the Jewish temple AD70 which is
significant because Jesus prophesied it and the gospel writers love writing about
fulfillments. Means they wrote before AD70.
- "The Date of Acts is still in dispute but the early date (AD63) is gaining support
constantly." - Matt Slick. Means Luke wrote before AD63 because Acts was a sequel to
Luke.
- Abrupt ending of Acts - doesn't include Paul's imprisonment & favourable picture of Rome, wouldn't have been
after Neronian persecution = before AD 70
- N.B. - Could be that Luke wrote long after AD64 - memories were
faded.

- Luke includes events to suit his theme/purpose. Focuses on
gentiles/women/children - didn't have to say about Paul - not
relevant to his gospel.

- Norman Geisler - "The prominence of God-fearers in the synagogues may point to early dating when there
were few converts to Judaism"
- Matt Slick, Harnack, Bruce and Munck agree on this
- Middle Date
(After AD70)
- Mark's Gospel AD68 - Luke used Mark - written after.
- Mark prophesied destruction of the temple. Luke has lived
through it and is able to give detail - recorded as a prophecy to
show the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy in Mark's gospel had
come true.
- Prologue explains he had written after many others - none dated before AD70
- Thought Luke written soon after Matthew - dated early 80's
- Scholars claimed developed theological views in Luke + Acts would have taken long to develop
- Scholars claimed developed theological views in Luke + Acts would have taken long to develop
- Thought Luke written soon after Matthew - dated early 80's

- J.C. O'Neill - Justin Martyr used special L and not canonical Luke (115-130)
- Some suggest written before 100AD - therefore it used Josephus' "antiquities"
- Haenchman and Conzelmann - "Theological differences between Luke and Paul"
- Both could have used same source
- Haenchman and Conzelmann - "Theological differences between Luke and Paul"
