and why would a Bishop have needed to learn about the story of Jesus ??? I would think he would have a reasonable idea long before he became a bishop. I don't know the alternative but I am reasonably sure that you have the wrong Theophilus. According to what I have read Luke was written about 56-58AD and Acts 61AD so long before the 2nd century - unless you have other information.
