DISCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT E-BOOK MANUAL PART 5 OF 10 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES

The Acts of the Apostles forms an important bridge between the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the writings and labours of His Apostles. The book of Acts provides us with our principal view of the Church of Jesus Christ during its formative years. In it we see the members and leaders of the infant Church working to overcome the problems encountered when the teachings of Jesus Christ came in conflict with Jewish traditions and Gentile influences. Unlike the four Gospels, which share a large amount of similar content, the book of Acts stands relatively alone; without it, the only information we would have about the early history of the Church would be the small amount provided by the New Testament epistles. In addition, Acts provides valuable historical context for the epistles of Paul.

May you be divinely guided as you continue to stay on the path of spiritual and temporal progression.
