Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bible Studies in the Life of Paul, Historical and Constructive
The book of Acts shows in a very graphic way the rapid growth and marvelous progress of Christianity in the midst of great Opposition. We see in process of ful fillment the promise of Jesus Christ to his disciples that they should receive power after the Holy Ghost had come upon them and that they should be witnesses unto Him both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermnst part of the earth. Those were earn est times and full of stirring events, when men went forth to conquer a hostile world not With swords, but by the preaching of a gospel of peace and good will. As soon as this proclamation was made in Judea and Samaria a new instrument was chosen by Jesus Christ, in Paul, to carry His message to the uttermost part of the earth. He thus became at once the chief character in the larger work of planting and developing churches outside of Palestine. The study of Paul's life shows the difficulties encountered, the doctrines taught, and the organization perfected in the early churches. We here watch the dawn of the gospel which the Savior preached as it broadens gradually into the boundless day.
