The New Testament in 90 DaysУзорак

Introduction to Acts

Acts was written by Luke — it is the sequel to his gospel. Luke’s purpose in writing this book was to tell about the birth and growth of the Christian church. It is believed that he wrote this book somewhere between A.D. 63-70. 

Peter and Paul are the primary people in this book. Peter became a key leader among Christians in Jerusalem, and Paul became a missionary to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Roman empire. Luke ends rather abruptly, which led many scholars to think he intended to write a third book.
