In the New Testament, Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles comprise a two-volume set written by the same author and fairly close in time to each other. Since they were attributed to Luke the physician later in the second century, it has been accepted that both books were indeed written by Luke.
However, the author is actually unknown, as the Gospel and Acts were originally anonymous. The prologue to Luke's Gospel indicates that the author did not know Paul, but that what he believed were those things that were handed down from others, in a line back to men who must have been eyewitnesses. This is one of a number of reasons that scholars no longer believe that Luke the physician wrote Acts of the Apostles.

What books of the Bible are addressed to Theophilus?

Yes the apostle Luke wrote the book of Acts.
Sreview of the Synopic gospel of Acts Chapters 13-28?
Acts is not one of the Synoptic Gospels - they are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Acts can be considered a follow-on or sequel to Luke, since they were written to the same person and evidently by the same author. But Acts is not a Gospel.
The author of Acts of the Apostles also wrote which of the four Gospels?
A:The author of Acts of the Apostles, whose name is unknown to us but is traditionally assumed to be Luke, also wrote Luke's Gospel.
Who wrote the book of The Acts Of The Apostles?
Another Answer from our community:The Book of Acts is commonly attributed to Luke as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It reflects the history of the Apostles for the first 12 years after the Resurrection and then speaks primarily of Paul's works.The external evidence that Luke wrote Acts is early, strong, and widespread. The early church fathers Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen all agree on Luke's authorship of Acts. So do nearly all who follow them in church history, including such authorities as Eusebius and Jerome.The internal evidence in Acts itself that Luke wrote it is threefold. In the beginning of Acts, the writer specifically refers to an earlier work, also dedicated to Theophilus. Luk_1:1-4 shows that the Third Gospel is the account that is meant. The style, compassionate outlook, vocabulary, apologetic emphasis, and many small details tie the two works together.Another AnswerI am slightly confused as to the wording of the question. If you are asking who wrote the book of Acts, tradition states Luke, judging from the first four verses of Luke and the first three of Acts. This is just tradition, seeing that there is no actual page anywhere stating, "The Acts of the Apostles, by Jack the Ripper."
