Attitudes in Acts
See JT Sanders, _The Jew in Luke-Acts_ pp.233ff which also cites
other literature. S is arguing that Luke-Acts is (unduly) hostile
in its editorial policy in this regard. While I think S sometimes
overstates this argument it does seem to be the case that there is
a tendency in Luke and other NT writers to put more blame on
Jewish people than on the Romans for reasons that are easier to
understand than to accept.
