The Book of Acts vs. the Hebrew Bible: How the New Testament Rewrites the Tanakh

The Book of Acts presents itself as the natural continuation of Israel's story-rooted in the Hebrew Bible, guided by the God of Sinai, and authorized by Scripture, miracles, and growth.

But what if those claims were tested by the Torah's own rules?

This book is the first full, forensic, Torah-governed audit of the Book of Acts-chapter by chapter, pericope by pericope, and pattern by pattern. It does not argue emotionally. It measures, compares, and tests Acts against the legal safeguards embedded in the Torah itself.

The result is a work that challenges assumptions on every side.

Most books about Acts ask whether it is inspiring, successful, or historically interesting.

This book asks a more fundamental question:

Is Acts authorized under the standards of the Torah it repeatedly invokes?

To answer that, this study:

• Examines every chapter and pericope of Acts

• Tracks how and where the Hebrew Bible is quoted or alluded to

• Identifies patterns of context removal, category shifting, and prooftexting

• Measures how often miracles, visions, and growth are used as authority

• Documents the repeated shift from Torah courts to Roman courts

• Tests Acts against Deuteronomy 4, 13, and 18-the Torah's own control statutes

This is not theology-by-opinion.
It is analysis-by-rule.

Whether you are Jewish, Christian, a Noahide, a student of Scripture, or simply someone who values intellectual honesty, this book will give you:

• A clear, readable understanding of how Acts actually works

• A new lens for evaluating religious authority claims

• Tools to recognize manipulative use of Scripture-in any tradition

• A structured way to test claims using the Hebrew Bible itself

• A comprehensive reference index mapping Acts to the Tanakh

• Confidence to ask questions most books avoid

You do not need prior academic training.
The book is written in plain English, with clarity prioritized over jargon.

✔ Torah-First - The Hebrew Bible is not treated as decoration, but as law
✔ Systematic - Patterns are measured across the entire book of Acts
✔ Fair but Uncompromising - Claims are tested, not dismissed
✔ Documented - Tables, indices, and appendices support every conclusion
✔ Accessible - Complex issues explained simply and clearly

This is not a reaction.
It is an audit.

• Readers who feel Acts is rarely questioned seriously

• Jews and Noahides seeking clarity about Christian claims

• Christians who value truth over tradition

• Students of Scripture who want depth without fluff

• Anyone tired of being told to "just believe"

If you value truth over momentum, law over spectacle, and clarity over slogans, this book was written for you.

The Torah teaches that truth is not established by miracles, crowds, or success-but by faithfulness to what was revealed at Sinai.

This book takes that teaching seriously.

Read it carefully.
Test it honestly.
And decide for yourself whether the Book of Acts passes the test it claims to inherit.
