The Acts of the Apostles (Latin: Actus Apostolorum), usually referred to simply as Acts, is the fifth book of the New Testament; Acts outlines the history of the Apostolic Age. The author is traditionally identified as Luke the Evangelist.

Composition

Main article: Authorship of Luke-Acts Ministry of the Apostles. Russian icon by Fyodor Zubov, 1660.

While the precise identity of the author is debated, the general consensus is that this work was composed by a (Koine) Greek speaking Gentile writing for an audience of Gentile Christians. The Early Church Fathers wrote that Luke was a physician in Antioch and an adherent of the Apostle Paul. Luke is said to have written the volume entitled Acts of the Apostles.

Title

The title "Acts of the Apostles" (Greek Πράξεις ἀποστόλων Praxeis Apostolon) was not part of the original text. It was first used by Irenaeus late in the second century. Some have suggested that the title "Acts" be interpreted as "The Acts of the Holy Spirit" or even "The Acts of Jesus," since 1:1 gives the impression that these acts were set forth as an account of what Jesus continued to do and teach, Jesus himself being the principal actor.

How can victims of inhumane acts cope/deal with the trauma they experience?
Q. There is only one-way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man. (Alan Paton) How can victims of inhumane acts cope/deal with the trauma they experience? How does forgiveness come into play? What needs to happen for the healing process to begin/happen?

A. We must first accept that we were traumatized and suffered greatly because of this experience. However, we can choose to embrace the concept that, with acceptance, comes cognitive release. We can release that tension that ties us in knots by living completely in the present while only glancing back at past events, rather than living every minute ruminating.

How can so many people ignore disgusting acts of violence in animal slaughter houses?
Q. If you do some research you will find some extremely disgusting inhumane acts of cruelty at slaughter houses. It's not about killing the animals it's more about what happens to animals before they are killed and the conditions they have to live in. I noticed that this category seems to have the most cold and worthless answers.

A. Simple things, like a gentleman who noticed I was struggling to lift my computer case into the overhead bin in the airplane, so he did it for me. Friends who stop over with books or magazines when I've been in the hospital. My Mother in Law picking up my dog, Rosie, for doggy day care when I have more than a 6 hour day away from home. (Rosie was a rescue from a puppy mill, and she was unable to run or do most kinds of play because she was always kept in a cage.) My nephew getting up early when I visit him, so he can go make me a nice scrambled egg breakfast from their pet chickens. A two year old who gave me a little white dog toy she loved and carried everywhere, when she realized I liked little white dogs too. The librarian… [cont.]
