Tyndale Bulletin paper on name giving by Paul and the destination of Acts

Tyndale Bulletin has published a paper that I wrote on "Name Giving by Paul and the Destination of Acts". With their permission I have posted the paper below. I recommend Tyndale Bulletin to prospective authors because of their open access policy, all but the most recent issues being available online here.

I am hoping that this paper will spark interest in the wider phenomenon of renaming in the early church, as well as the historicity of Acts. You can post feedback in the comments section here, as well as on the Tyndale Bulletin blog, which also accepts comments, or you can just send me an email.
