Illustrations of a social networt analysis of Luke-Acts

This dataset contains images of a social network representation and analysis of Luke-Acts as supplementary material. The study explores the narrative portrayal of the early Christian network in Luke-Acts by utilizing Social Network Analysis (SNA) and critical spatiality. Understanding social interactions and networks and how they influence society are important issues in this quest. 

First, a detailed methodological discussion that highlights the overlap between narrative criticism and SNA is provided. In a second step, we present a SNA based on exegetical observations on Luke-Acts. This includes a detailed analysis with multiple methods like distance measures, structural analyses, community detection, and other methods from the social sciences.
