Opis

Luke wrote this historical book of the Acts of the Apostles. In it, he covered the first thirty years of the early Christian church - from Jesus Christ's ascension to heaven until Paul's arrival and ministry in Rome. This history includes coverage of the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was first given to believers, through the ministries and travels of Peter, Stephen, Philip, Paul, Barnabas, and Silas. Details of early church practices are explained throughout the Acts. Apart from Luke's history of the early church and the ministries of the apostles, we would have missed the stories of the early development and spread of the church throughout the Eastern Mediterranean region. This includes the ministry of Peter in and around Judaea, and the ministry of Paul and companions throughout the lands of the present day Middle East, Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Cyprus, Crete, Malta, and Italy.
