| Summary: | In her recent work The Assumed Authorial Unity of Luke and Acts: A Reassessment of the Evidence, Patricia Walters analyzes the seams and summaries of Luke and Acts in light of ancient prose composition conventions and attempts to challenge the authorial unity of the two books with her results. This paper critiques Walters' work from various angles. First, we deal with two preliminary but important matters regarding textual variants and segmentation. Next, we focus on Walters' selection of data and stylistic criteria (focusing primarily but not exclusively on the issue of hiatus). Finally, we conclude with some thoughts about the implications of Walters' study, including questions regarding the unity of Luke and Acts. On these points, Walters' challenge to the authorial unity of Luke and Acts remains unconvincing. |
