Introduction of Acts

Acts of the Apostles, written by Luke as a sequel to his Gospel (around 60–80 AD), tells the explosive story of the early church. It follows the apostles, especially Peter and Paul, as the message of Jesus spreads from Jerusalem to Rome. Key events include Pentecost, the conversion of Paul, and the inclusion of Gentiles. The book is filled with dramatic conversions, persecutions, miracles, and bold witness. At its heart is the question of how a small group of followers could transform the known world through the power of the Holy Spirit.
