Biography
Nathan Nadeau is a faculty member in New Testament at the Toronto Baptist Seminary and a post-doctoral research fellow at McMaster Divinity College (PhD, New Testament, 2025), both in Ontario, Canada. He has published in Biblical Interpretation, Filología Neotestamentaria, the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism, and the McMaster Journal of Theology and Ministry.
"This remarkable text is comprehensive, detailed, and gripping and predictably will immediately belong to a small body of final authority in the study of the historical Paul in Acts. Its breadth of examination of ancient texts and modern scholars is a gift to scholarship and research." - Dr Paul Barnett AM, Lecturer Emeritus, Moore College; Honorary Fellow, Ancient History, Macquarie University.
"Nathan Nadeau has written an excellent book on Acts that models the best in ancient historiography supported by Greek linguistics. He establishes a means of examining and weighing the historical evidence and then shows how such interpretive judgments make a difference for interpretation. This book sets a new standard for historiography of the New Testament." - Stanley E. Porter, President and Dean, Professor of New Testament, and Roy A. Hope Chair in Christian Worldview, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
