What sources did Luke use to craft his Gospel and the book of Acts? How do these sources shape our understanding of Jesus and the early church? In this episode, we explore the origins of Luke-Acts, diving into ancient texts, oral traditions, and lost writings that influenced the narrative. But beyond that, we confront a deeper tragedy—the closing of the biblical canon. What voices were left out? What perspectives were lost? And how does this impact how we read scripture today?

Join us as we unravel the complex history behind Luke-Acts and challenge the idea that the canon was sealed without controversy.

✅ The sources behind Luke-Acts: Eyewitness accounts, written traditions, and more
