ACTS – A THEOLOGICAL COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE
£0.00
The book of Acts is a detailed, orderly, eyewitness account of the birth and growth of the early church and the spread of the gospel immediately after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It provides a bridge connecting the life and ministry of Jesus to the life of the church and the witness of the earliest believers1. Acts traces the life of the community of Jesus’ followers as the Spirit forms them into a group of people who work and use work-related power and wealth differently from the world around them2. Acts depicts the shift from Jewish Christianity to Gentile Christianity as relatively smooth and portrays the Roman government as regarding the Christian doctrine as harmless
