| Title: "Eine Thukydidesreminiszenz in der Apostelgeschichte (Act 20,33-35 - Thuk. II 97,3f.)" Pages: 270-275 Type: Generic Year: 1992 Abstract: "The congruence between Acts 20:33-35 and Thucydides 2.97.3-4 with respect to content, topic, sequence of the indiviudual topoi, and at times even linguistic tone makes it probable that the author of Acts formed the end of Paul's speech in 20:18-35 in dependence on the Thucydidean passage. In this way Luke provided Paul's farewell address both with an edifying final reminder about the practice of Christian caritas and the literary flair of a Thucydidean reminiscence. - C.R.M."
