Publisher's Synopsis
""A Short Account Of Some Coincidences Of Expression In Thucydides: And The Acts Of The Apostles"" is a book written by James Hamblin Smith and published in 1883. The book explores the similarities in language and style between the historical accounts of the ancient Greek historian Thucydides and the New Testament book of Acts. Smith examines specific examples of parallel phrasing and vocabulary, and argues that these coincidences suggest a common literary tradition or influence.
