Historical Reliability of Acts
Start researching the historical reliability of Acts on the web, courtesy of Mr Google, and it's a minefield.
Here's one viewpoint, which rather fits with my faith in the infallibility of scripture. Specifically, the article addresses "Those who regard the book of Acts as non-historical often point to the difficulties between the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15:1-29 and the writing of Paul in Galatians 2:1-10. Although Luke's account of the council is straightforward, the main difficulty arises when it is compared with what appears to be the same event as described by Paul in Galatians."
Also of interest is the archaeological evidence, and the comments on Sir William Ramsay (sections 44 & 60).
