Published: July 17, 2014, 2:08 p.m.

Is the\xa0Book of Acts\xa0in the New Testament\xa0history or myth? \xa0For the next two weeks I speak with the two co-chairs of the Acts Seminar, Joseph Tyson and Dennis Smith. For ten years the\xa0Westar Institute\xa0has evaluated the historicity of the\xa0Book of Acts. They have produced\xa0Acts and Christian Beginnings: The Acts Seminar Report. \xa0They have made some important conclusions. Here is a\xa0top ten list. This week I speak with\xa0Dr. Tyson\xa0of Southern Methodist University about his take on\xa0Acts\xa0and the\xa0Acts Seminar.
