It is a very strong theory of recipient Nope. It is not very strong. although anybody stuck in late dating due to skeptic presuppositions would have a hard time accepting the fairly obvious identity. Rubbish. It is just the opposite and I understand the origins in full, for this guess. Luke himself...

Re: Is the Rejection of Jewish Origin for Xristianity = Lazi
