The same author appears to have written the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, and most refer to them as the Lucan texts.<ref>Horrell, D. G. (2006). ''An Introduction to the Study of Paul''. 2nd ed. London, Bloomsbury-T&T Clark. p. 7.</ref><ref>See {{harvnb|Knox|1948|pp=2–15}} for detailed arguments.</ref> The most direct evidence comes from the prefaces of each book; both were addressed to [[Theophilus (Biblical)|Theophilus]], and the preface to the Acts of the Apostles references "my former book" about the ministry of Jesus.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://biblehub.com/acts/1-1.htm| title = Acts 1:1}}</ref> Furthermore, there are linguistic and theological similarities between the two works, suggesting that they have a common author.<ref>Sean A. Adams, "The Relationships of Paul and Luke: Luke, Paul's Letters, and the 'We' Passages of Acts." In ''Paul and His Social Relations'', edited by Stanley E. Porter and Christopher D. Land (Leiden: Brill, 2012), 132–34. {{ISBN|978-9004242111}}
Scholarly agreement of the single-author/editor theory of the Lucan texts is not without question, e.g. Patricia Walters, ''The Assumed Authorial Unity of Luke and Acts: A Reassessment of the Evidence'' (Cambridge University Press, 2009). {{ISBN|978-0521509749}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Kenny |first=Anthony |author-link=Anthony Kenny |date=1986 |title=A Stylometric Study of the New Testament |location=Oxford |publisher=Clarendon Press |isbn=978-0-19-826178-0}}</ref>{{sfn|Schnelle|1998|p=259}}{{sfn|Bruce|1952|p=2}}
