Luke–Acts is the composite narrative formed by the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. The two-volume work links the ministry of Jesus to the development of the early church, follows the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to the wider Mediterranean, and presents salvation history as the framework for understanding those events.
Some modern editions of the Bible and New Testament, including The Original New Testament (1985) and The Books of the Bible (2007), combine Luke–Acts into a single book.
