The Book of Acts

Acts of the Apostles
Book • 80
The Book of Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke.

It chronicles the history of the early Christian church, beginning with the ascension of Jesus Christ and ending with Paul's imprisonment in Rome.

The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the ministry of Peter in Jerusalem and Samaria (Acts 1–12), and the second follows Paul's missionary journeys throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 13–28).

It highlights the transition of the gospel message from a Jewish audience to the Gentiles, the empowerment of believers by the Holy Spirit, and the growth of the church despite persecutions.

The book also explores the relationship between Christians and the Roman Empire, showing how Christians could obey both God and the civil authorities.
