The decline of the form critical approach to the Gospels has caused a reassessment of historiography in New Testament scholarship; this reassessment necessarily involves analyzing the earliest Christian accounts within the broader context of ancient historiography, which includes biography as a subgenre. In dialogue with the primary and secondary literature of ancient historiography, I argue that taking Luke's status as an ancient historian seriously requires taking seriously the values and practices of the ancient historians and assessing him according to those values and practices. This requires assessing Luke on his own terms, which begins above all with recognizing that he represented himself as a historian of contemporary events. Consequently, the dissertation focuses on ancient historians who reported about recent events and analyzes them with respect to the epistemology, conventions, and expectations that governed the research, writing and publication of contemporary historical accounts. The ancient examples surveyed diachronically include the founders of history writing, Herodotus and Thucydides, as well as their distant successors, Polybius and Josephus. These authors represent the best analogs for understanding Luke as a historian because they all wrote primarily about contemporary events and explicitly endorsed eyewitness testimony as the ideal source for knowledge about the past. The research, thus, establishes the proper ancient framework for understanding the values and practices that governed contemporary history writing and situates Luke within that framework. A large portion of this dissertation is devoted particularly to identifying and analyzing the source and method claims of ancient historians as these claims are central to a proper understanding of ancient historiography. Following the model of Thucydides, historians' source and method claims most often occur in the prefaces to their accounts. My analysis demonstrates not only that Luke emulates this historical convention but also that his preface was designed to function as the key to his narrative. In the end, two of the more significant results of the research are that Luke represented himself as a historian of contemporary events and that the opening preface governs the proper understanding of the sources and methodology Luke employed when researching, writing, and publishing his two-volume history.
