About the place

Historical tradition identifies Luke the Evangelist as the author of canonical biblical texts.

Christian historical records attribute two central New Testament books to Luke the Evangelist, specifically the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Early Church Fathers such as Jerome and Eusebius reinforced this traditional attribution in their writings. Later theological scholarship presents divided conclusions regarding whether single authorship accounts for both historical texts.
