Luke wrote the Books of Acts between 62 and 70 AD. During his period, Luke was the only Gentile Christian from Greek who wrote in the New Testament. According Colossians chapter 4:14, it is evident that Luke was elite from the Greek and was a physician. The book of Acts was given an authorship in the early second century where Luke is not named as a writer in the book of Acts. It is argued that, in the last chapters of the book of Luke first plural; narrative ids used to show that at the time of writing Paul and Luke were together in the time of writing. The book of Acts has theological themes and a revelation that promotes a new program that God has for his servants.
The book of Acts is all about the story of God, which educates Christians what God did during the early periods of the Church.

The book gives a clear definition of Jesus as the Son of David, the promised Messiah, and the one who is ready to suffer and also regarded as the ruler and savior of man. Therefore, Jesus serves as the appropriate God’s solution for mankind. The book of Acts and Luke states the mission that God has for his followers, books such as Luke chapter 1:5-4:13 states that the planet earth that appears outside is a baby Jesus invaded while some chapters show that Jesus did an invasion in Judea and Samaria, while the books of Acts explains that, during the time of the Pentecost the holy spirit took the City of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.
