Lectures on the Book of Acts

The Acts of the Apostles as recorded by Luke encompasses a thirty-year period immediately following the ascension of Christ. So profound was the effect of the resurrection upon the disciples that their timidity vanished, replaced by a boldness that labeled them "they that have turned the world upside down." Luke tells of Paul's dramatic conversion and missionary travels, the first years of the growing Church, and Stephen's address to the Sanhedrin reviewing the course of Jewish unbelief. Indeed, the book of Acts provides striking examples of what God can do with individuals committed to him. -- Jacket.
