Abstract

According to Christian tradition, Luke is credited with authoring a Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, even if his name does not appear in either book, both originally written in Koine Greek. Several biblical scholars assume that both texts were written by a common author, while others deduce the presence of two authors. Different studies have been found to support either finding, some based on qualitative evaluation, while a few others consider the occurrence frequency differences between the two books. To propose an enhanced quantitative analysis, this study is grounded on two recent authorship attribution models. The Burrows' Delta, applied with eleven different feature sizes, demonstrates common authorship. An author verification model confirms this finding. The following experiments consider several stylistic representations, feature sizes, and distance functions to confirm that Luke is the true author of both books.
