Although the view that Luke-Acts represents early Roman period historiography is widespread, still many scholars express dissent. Resulting from rather narrow understandings of ancient historiography, skeptics favor “theological” <italic>as over and against</italic> “historical” approaches, drawing too sharp a contrast between the two. Though this contrast has been fruitful within Lukan studies, pointing to various apologetic purposes of the works, it has tended to overlook that theology is an integral aspect of the composition of all historical works. The present study aims to shift the focus from revealing and defending theological motifs in Luke-Acts to attention to distinct historiographical methods and interests. It proposes some of the compositional elements separated by scholarship as characteristics of Lukan theology—in particular patterns of recurrence, prediction, use of the expression, <italic>dei</italic>, and hyperbole—are elements of Hellenistic rhetorical historiography with counterparts in other Hellenistic and early Roman period histories. As the rhetorical techniques of these historians, they are in direct support of prologue claims to accuracy and truth, not undermining generic understandings of the works as historiography in favor of theological readings, but supporting such a designation. While they may have implications for understanding an author's theology, their primary purpose is revealed by their function as tools of the craft of history.
