Conversational Commentary on Acts: Gospel Mission Then and Now

The book of Acts was written by Luke, who is also the author of the Gospel of Luke, between A.D. 63 and 70. Acts begins right where Luke ends, so the two accounts were probably meant to be read together as a joint work. It’s easy to skip over the title of the book, since most New Testament books are either a name of a person or a city. But what we often shorten to Acts stands for the Acts of the Apostles. The entire point of this book is to show the acts or the actions of the apostles as they were led by the Holy Spirit after Jesus ascended into heaven. This book records real events that actually happened in history and contains the stories of real people who actually lived. This book tells the story of the explosive growth of the early church and the expansion of the gospel. Acts is the bridge between the gospels of Jesus and the Epistles (Letters) to the churches that follow.

This is not the book of reacts, or of plans, policies, and procedures. Acts stands for progress and movement. The same Holy Spirit that was alive and active then is alive and active now. The same movement that began then is the same movement every believer is still part of now.

God's Word is God speaking to us, we get to continue the conversation He started in the commentary, and the corresponding questions enable you to build discipleship relationships with women you know. That's the purpose and progression of the Conversational Commentary series.

What to Expect:
