| Summary: | This article investigates the reception of Acts 5:1-11 (the narrative of Ananias and Sapphira) in the writings of the early church.

Chronologically, the analysis shows how the reception of this pericope went from a discussion of sin and punishment to one of the prime proof texts for demonstrating the divinity of the Holy Spirit. |
