Primary Datum
Acts' public kerygma presents Jesus as crucified, raised, exalted, and proclaimed as Lord and Christ, with Lukan-source caveats.
Scoring / Hypothesis Pressure
| Hypothesis | log10BF | Min | Max | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H-ALT-LEGEND | -0.02 | -0.03 | -0.01 | The repeated public Lord/Christ kerygma slightly pressures late-legend development, while Acts' literary shaping keeps the effect small. |
H-CHRIST-IDENTITY | 0.03 | 0.02 | 0.04 | Acts' public proclamation pattern modestly supports early Christ-identity claims while remaining source- and genre-limited. |

Apologetic Note
- label
- Apologetic leverage
- title
- The public message is already more than teacher-memory.
- key point
- Acts portrays early preaching as public Lord-and-Christ proclamation, not merely admiration for a moral teacher.
- conversation move
- Grant Lukan shaping and the non-verbatim character of speech summaries. Then ask whether the repeated pattern still records the kind of claim the church publicly made about Jesus.
- caveat
- Do not use Acts alone as proof of full later doctrine or as direct Resurrection proof.
Scripture Passage
Acts 2:22-36; Acts 3:13-26; Acts 10:36-43; Acts 13:26-39
Caveats / Notes
- Source note
- Acts/Lukan-source caveats are part of the row. Use as public-proclamation support, not as a substitute for Pauline or creed evidence.
- Cap notes
- Capped public-proclamation support. Do not stack as independent proof beside creed, baptism/name, Maranatha, or other early kerygma rows.
- Scoring note
- Small Christ-identity support from Acts/Lukan public kerygma, with a small anti-legend pressure. No direct Resurrection BF.
