When did Luke write his Gospel

[The Texas RAT]

September 3, 2013

A Religion Professor at Yale has claimed that Luke wrote his Gospel after the fall of Jerusalem (70 A.D.).

What evidence is there to disprove this claim?

Keph [Peter] died with Shaul[1], therefore his two books (a.k.a - 1st and 2nd Peter) were also composed before that date (68 A.D. that is). Shaul is recorded as ofttimes quoting the book of Loukanus[Luke][2], indicating that Loukanus was written before Shaul?s death. This also must be true of the book of Acts, also written by Loukanus, for in it Loukanus makes no mention of Shaul?s death but does discuss Shaul living at Rome. This optimistic note on which Acts ends, showing Shaul proclaiming The Good News in Rome without hindrance, suggests a date before the outbreak of persecution there in 64 A.D. (As some what noted above by distazo being that Shaul's last journey was in +/- 63).
