The Acts of the Apostles narrates the origins of Christianity, detailing the spread of the movement from Jerusalem to the Roman Empire, demonstrating the fulfillment of prophetic predictions.
Written by the same author as the third gospel, Acts serves to link the prophetic predictions of the Old Testament with the actions of early Christian missionaries.
This text is significant as it chronicles Paul's travels and reinforces Jesus' declarations about the imminent kingdom, despite the time elapsed since his ascension.
Scholars regard Acts as vital historiography, integrating speeches from the apostles and reflecting on the criteria of ancient authorship to bring historical events to life.
