“…A great number of Acts scholars has been satisfied to grant Acts the largely undifferentiated designation of ancient historiography (e.g. Haenchen 1971: 90-103;Scott 1974;Hemer 1977;Hengel 1979;Roloff 1981: 6-10;Maddox 1982: 15-18; Krodel 1986: 39-43; Kurz 1987;Jones 1989;Lüdemann 1989;Thornton 1991;Green and McKeever 1994: 32-35;Pesch 1995: 34-36;Jervell 1996;Dunn 1996: xv-xix;Green 1996;Kee 1997: 11-14;Alexander 1998b;Gilbert 1999;Verheyden 1999: 45-48;Wilson 2001;Bovon 2003;Culy and Parsons 2003: xviii-xix).…”

This article examines the four most widely discussed proposals for the genre of Acts in contemporary scholarship (biography as proposed by C. Talbert, novel as proposed by R. Pervo, epic as proposed by D. MacDonald, and history as reflected in the consensus of scholarship). Because the historical genre is currently the most widely accepted understanding, four historical subgenres are also considered (general history as proposed by D. Aune, political history as proposed by D. Balch, deuteronomistic history as proposed by T. Brodie, and apologetic history as proposed by G. Sterling). Currently the tendency of scholarship appears to be moving in the direction of understanding Acts as a mixture of genres, some of which are fictive.
