Acts: A New Testament Commentary

More about the book

On the day of Pentecost, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit and power to his followers. So dawned the church age. Led from then on by His Spirit, believers blazed a trail through a dangerous maze of pagan cultures and religious legalism. The gospel spread like wildfire through the known world, bringing salvation to an entire generation and trial and triumph to believers of the Way. Verse by verse, Bob Yandian outlines the exploits of men like Stephan, Peter, and Paul, men hailed both as gods and heretics, bent on uprooting the binding vines of religion and philosophy to plant the kingdom of God. From honest appraisals of the early congregations to detailed descriptions of the cities Paul evangelized, Yandian walks readers through the thoroughly exciting and perilous adventures of the early church.
