DHW Study - Book of Acts
The study of the book of Acts should benefit the diligent and conscientious student in many ways. It is the only divinely inspired account of the beginning and early expansion of the Christian church. It is our main and reliable source of information of the Christians and the church in that period. Luke recorded the period which began with the ascension of Christ (around A.D. 30) to the time when Paul was under house arrest (A.D. 62) – a period of about thirty two years. Although it was not his intention to give a total historical account of the church as a whole, Luke aimed at giving a proper account of the geographical expansion of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and its supernatural origin. The account of the charges brought up by the Jews against Gentile Christians at the Jerusalem Council shows Luke’s purpose to eliminate any religious suspicions against Judaism by the Gentile believers. In addition, Luke’s accounts of Paul’s trials before the Roman governors show that Christianity was not and is not against the Roman government.
