We discuss the events mentioned in Acts 24-26, which occurred there in Judea right after Paul was arrested in Jerusalem at the feast of Pentecost in AD 58. We talk about the possibility that Luke and Acts may have been written by Luke while Paul was there in Caesarea for two years, or at least did all the research in preparation for writing them at that time. We also look at some of the theories about who Theophilus was. There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast. Send an email to preterist1@preterist.org and request it by its date.

Listener Feedback and Mt 27:52f
Every few months we accumulate a good supply of emails from listeners asking questions and making comments. This is always high interest content and extremely helpful for a lot of other listeners who have the same questions.

Fruit of the Collective Body Tree
Advocates of the Collective Body resurrection view have accused the Individual Body View of being futurist because we teach that we get a new immortal body and go to heaven at physical death. However, we reverse those charges, and show that the Collective Body View has produced some very rotten fruit by teaching that we…
