About this title

Synopsis

The Apostle Luke addressed both his gospel and the book of Acts to an unknown individual named Theophilus. Wibberley imagines that Theophilus is a Roman grain merchant and builds a historical tale around this person that provides fascinating insights into the lives of Christ and his Apostles as well as the Roman Empire in which they lived.
