"If the history of scholarship proves one thing, it is certainly this, that reiteration of a conclusion does not necessarily establish its validity. Is Acts the sequel of the Gospel of Luke? Many have answered affirmatively, and some without even bothering to ask the question. Professors Parsons and Pervo argue that the two works are independent narratives, each telling the story differently. In the course of their challenge of alleged generic continuity, the authors focus on the early writer's Christology as a fruitful clue to the unity, not of Luke-Acts, but of Luke and Acts."
