The Bible Places blog has just begun a series on the historical reliability of the books of Luke and Acts. The first installment can be found here.

Here’s the opening paragraph:

This ongoing series of posts considers the historical reliability of the New Testament books of Luke and Acts by examining the relationship between the texts and other ancient sources. Primarily intended to assist those with a teaching ministry, it will cover both well documented and obscure correlations and will include periodic summaries and source references as relevant. Public domain photos, or those whose author has given permission for use, will also be provided when available.
