520 |a The hermeneutical key to the Acts of the Apostles lies in its canonical rather than its original historical life setting. Acts is positioned in the Second Testament canon between (a) the gospels and (b) the letters as a commmentary on each of these collections. While the author of Acts may have intended to insure acceptance of the Pauline tradition within the evangelist's church, the canonizing community used Acts to insure acceptance not only of Paul but of the Jewish mission of James, Cephas and John within the universalist gentile church in which Paul had already largely triumphed. Thus, Acts is positioned to serve as the context within which the canonical conversation between the Pauline and non-Pauline collections is understood. Finally, within the canonizing community, the author's narrative, by being retitled "Acts" could be seen to recount the mighty deeds of the apostles who are then be taken as first among the witnesses to God's mighty deeds within the community that took its identity from them.
