Luke is considered the first historian of Christianity, but his reliability is vigorously disputed among scholars. Daniel Marguerat avoids this true/false quagmire by setting his evaluation of Luke's talent as a historian firmly within the framework of ancient historiography, the rules of ancient historians and narrative criticism.
1. How Luke wrote history; 2. A narrative of beginnings; 3. The unity of Luke-Acts: the task of reading; 4. A Christianity between Jerusalem and Rome; 5. The God of Acts; 6. The work of the spirit; 7. Jews and Christians in conflict; 8. Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5.1-11): the original sin; 9. Saul's conversion (Acts 9-22-26); 10. The enigma of the end of Acts (26.16-31); 11. Travels and travelers.
