The present work is a revised and updated version of my 1993 Harvard dissertation. The initial impetus behind the study arose from a conversation with George MacRae on Luke's treatment of Philip and Peter in Acts 8. The original goal of my research was to analyze selected pericopes in Acts in an attempt to formulate a method for distinguishing between tradition and composition in Luke's second volume. George MacRae's untimely death made it impossible to proceed for some time. At the suggestion of Helmut Koester, and other members of the New Testament department at Harvard Divinity School, the focus of my project shifted to Philip and the coverage expanded to encompass the New Testament and Early Christian literature.
