The Acts of the Apostles
While Luke’s Gospel focuses on the early life of Jesus, the Book of Acts is about the story of Jesus as manifested in the life of the early Church and about what Jesus continues to do and teach in the world through the actions of the Holy Spirit within the Church. Highlights of this book include Jesus’ Ascension; Replacing Judas; Pentecost; Peter’s primacy; miracles and the spread of the Gospel by the Apostles; growth of the first Christian community around Peter; Stephen, the first Christian martyr; Saul the persecutor of Christians and his conversion; the first church council; and the Mission.
