Survey of Acts 1-14 The establishment of the church & the spread of the gospel into all the world

I. General information

Book of History The book of Acts gives the historical background for the rest of the N.T.

Author Luke A companion of Paul and a physician Acts is a continuation of the gospel of Luke

To whom written For all men everywhere

Why it was written “The book of Acts begins where the gospel left off at the resurrection and ascension of Jesus into heaven. It takes up the story there and shows the establishment of the Kingdom (the church) and its growth.

It is often called ‘the book of conversions’ because it shows how people in the first century became Christians”. – Windell Gann

Outstanding features of the book “The last recorded words of Jesus prior to His ascension back to Heaven are recorded in the Book of Acts. Through the first 12 chapters the major character is Peter. Through the final 16 chapters the major character is Paul.” (Donnie Barnes)

“The two main topics of Acts are: (1) the establishment of the church, and (2) how to become a Christian (Frank J. Dunn)

Acts is “an instruction manual providing us with the necessary details of the work, worship and government of the church”
