0 Acts Introduction By DL Gang (The Theophilus Study)

I take various resources like Peter Ruckman, Cornelius Stam, Ironside, G Campbell Morgan (see https://archive.org/details/MN41494ucmf_0/mode/2up ), Charles Ryrie (https://ryrielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Manuscript_The-Acts-of-the-Apostles_OCR.pdf ) , J Vernon McGee ( https://archive.org/details/66-revelation-01 ), Zac Poonen, and whatever I want to think through as I study Acts. Theophilus is who Luke and Acts was addressed to. Theophilus is said to mean "friend of God" as Theo is God and Philo can mean friend https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g2321/kjv/tr/0-1/ You can see here it is a kind of love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philia Hence, Theophilus means friend/lover of God. (you can see here that modern lists of commentaries aren't very good from a believing King James perspective https://www.bestcommentaries.com/acts/ )
