To determine when Acts was written, we need to evaluate the evidence from both Luke and Acts, because the two books were written together, with Luke appearing slightly before Acts.
At first glance, it seems that the book of Acts was written around the same time of the last events it describes. The story ends; Luke writes the book. That's the date.
But why couldn't Luke have written the book later?
It is possible Luke's story isn't really about Paul. Instead, it could be about the gospel arriving at Rome. In this view, it not important what Paul does after the gospel makes it to Rome; Paul's imprisonment isn't a factor in dating Acts. If this is the case, it means Acts could have been written much later.
Take a look at how we might come up with a date for Acts.
