Resources on Acts
With a historian’s fine sense of what is truly significant and important, Luke shows us how the apostles of our Lord Jesus defined for all time the major indispensable foundations of the Christian gospel. For us who live in this distant century, Luke’s sense of what essential Christianity is can be very enlightening. In the ensuing ages, Christendom has often allowed its message to become confused with civil politics and contemporary philosophies. Luke originally dedicated his work to a certain Theophilus, in the hope of convincing him of the true nature and credibility of the Christian faith (Acts 1:1). As we study the detail of Luke’s record and see Christianity in all its pristine clarity, it would be Luke’s hope that he could do the same for us as he did for Theophilus.
