In an article on "Authorship of Luke-Acts " in Wikipedia, it states the following:
> According to a Church tradition, first attested by Irenaeus (c. 130 –
> c. 202 AD), he was the Luke named as a companion of Paul in three of
> the Pauline letters, but "a critical consensus emphasizes the
> countless contradictions between the account in Acts and the authentic
> Pauline letters...
The editors of Wikipedia appeal to the following reference for a "critical consensus" for a list of contradictions:
> Theissen, Gerd; Merz, Annette (1998) . The historical Jesus: a
> comprehensive guide. Translated by Bowden, John. Fortress Press. ISBN
> 9780800631239.
What are the strongest arguments contained in that source, translated by John Bowden, and what are the responses by critics (i.e. Christian apologists) holding to a traditional view of the unity of canonical Scripture?
