About this title

From the Back Cover

Transitions and new beginnings mark the book of Acts. With the ascension of Christ into heaven and the subsequent baptism of the Holy Spirit, the church age began. Acts records the founding of the early church and the spreading of the gospel of Christ to Jews and then Gentiles throughout the known world. This comprehensive look at the book of Acts, written in conversational tone, is an excellent resource for pastors, teachers, and students.

"This series has features that will make it a favorite of Bible students: detailed alliterative outline; notes about the authorship; straightforward interpretation of the text; practical application."
