Theophilus
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
Friend of God, an honorable person to whom the evangelist Luke addressed his gospel, and the Acts of the Apostles, Luke 1:3; Acts 1:1 . We can only say of him, in general, that most probably he was a man of some note, who lived out of Palestine, and had abjured paganism in order to embrace Christianity.
