who is luke in the gospel of luke
Luke -- Acts does not name its author. According to Church tradition this was Luke the Evangelist, the companion of Paul, but while this view is still occasionally put forward the scholarly consensus emphasises the many contradictions between Acts and the authentic Pauline letters. The most probable date for its composition is around 80 -- 110 AD, and there is evidence that it was still being revised well into the 2nd century.
