Acts of the Apostles: The Church, the Spirit and the Mission of God
Acts of the Apostles: The Church, the Spirit and the Mission of God [PENT / NEWT 0525]
Course Description
A study of the book of Acts with a focus on its theology, literary artistry, and depiction of Christian origins. Acts is a pastoral narrative documenting the origin and advancement of the early church. As a story of the emerging Jesus movement, Luke charts the triumphs and tragedies of the first Christians and thereby provides a historical context for our New Testament. This study will examine the fate of the gospel message from its Jewish origins to Rome. Attention will be given to the role of Acts as part of the New Testament canon and its significance for contemporary Christians.
