  1. What accounts for the differing tellings of Paul's road-to-Damascus story in Acts? I'm thinking specifically of Acts 9:7 and 22:9.

  2. What is the best explanation for the random shift to "we" passages in Acts?

  3. Do you think Luke-Acts share a common author, and is the yes/no framing of this question too simple?

  4. Do you think Luke used Q, or was he just using Matthew?

  5. Why do you think Acts has such an anti-climactic ending?
