Ramsay began his career as an archaelogist, convinced that the events located in the New Testament could not be historical in nature. He set out to study the available evidence in an attempt to disprove the historicity of the New Testament. What he found, however, led him to believe firmly in the historicity of the New Testament. Ramsay wrote extensively during his career on various topics, mostly relating to the life of Paul and the book of Acts.
