The New Testament Community of Believers Acts of the Apostles – written by Luke before AD 70 (less than 40 years after the crucifixion of Jesus) The book of Acts tells how Christianity spread.

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people.

He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead.
