What book did Luke write to a nobleman?

Answer 1

A:The Gospel According to Saint Luke and Acts of the Apostles were attributed in the mid-second century by the Church Fathers to Luke, a physician mentioned in the epistles.Both books were originally anonymous and the real identity of 'Luke' is therefore unknown.

The two books open with a salutation to Theophilus, an otherwise unknown person. He might have been a new convert or a wealthy man who supported Luke while he wrote the Gospel, although these options would be unusual for such a short work. Another suggestion put forward is that Theophilus, which means 'Lover of God', was not a real man but represents all Christians. An even more likely explanation, given that it is known that Luke borrowed extensively from the works of the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, is that it is a reversal of the name of the patron whom Josephus acknowledged in Antiquities of the Jews, Epaphroditus. As a name Epaphroditus was not uncommon, but has the meaning, 'Touched by Aphrodite'.

The books that Luke dedicated to Theophilus are Luke and Acts of the Apostles.
