    The genre of this book is narrative. The key theme of Acts is showing the reader how believers in Jesus were empowered by the Holy Ghost to spread His Word throughout the world. Key characters are Paul, Peter, John, Stephen, Timothy, and James. The author of Acts is Luke. The beginning chapters tell of the Church starting from infancy.

    Pilate/Pontius Pilate- He was the Roman governor of Judea. The New Testament portrays him as generally weak and poor at making decisions. Jewish sources depict him as a strong figure of authority. Both sources, however, claim that he was unjustly hostile toward Jews. Jewish leaders took Jesus before Pilate. They said Jesus claimed to be The Messiah (King of Jews) and charged him with treason. Pilate discovered Jesus was from Galilee and sent him to Herod Antipas, Galilean ruler. Herod mocked Jesus and sent him back to Pilate. It was custom for the Roman governor to release one Jewish…

    19Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.

    While the Romans held Judah captive, he along with other prisoners were forced to cross the desert. When the caravan stopped at a village for water one of the Roman soldiers prohibited Judah from having any. Then a man went ahead and provided Judah with water and unexpectedly the Roman soldier did not protest. The man that presented Judah with water was Jesus Christ, who would, again, come into Judah's life later on. At the end of the story, while Jesus was being crucified, Judah brought Jesus water just like he had done for him in the desert. This moment was an epiphany to Judah Ben-Hur because his heart was filled with love, hope, and faith and cleared of hatred.…

    His understanding of the ‘’mission’’ in Christianity differs to a greater extend with the understanding of Paul and Mathew. While Mathew sees the mission in universal perspective, Luke sees it as a duty to the disciples and the followers of Jesus Christ. For this reason, his work is a direct replacement of Mathew’s ‘’great commission.’’ Another major contradiction between Luke and Mathew is that the former did not only write the gospel of Jesus, but also wrote the Acts of the Apostles and that the latter is Jewish-Christian, hence bringing the difference in interpretation of the mission in Christianity between the two authors. However, it is equally important to appreciate the fact that the authors show some similarities in their writings and that they wrote their books in the same period despite the differences seen in the messages and the texts. Luke like Paul came to rescue people from the confusion they had about their identity. His writing seeks to give direction to the Christians who had lost direction and were wondering if Christianity was an upcoming religion or if it was a continuation of the church left by Jesus Christ. In his writing, Luke emphasizes three things, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and forgiveness[iv]. He also makes the poor the center and the predominant heading of his book. Through this he mentions, association that Jesus…

    The Gospel of Luke is distinctive in comparison to the other Gospels due to its universality. Luke’s writings include “not only Gentiles, but also social outcasts. The universality also shows itself in the special attention paid to women” (Gundry, 2012, p. 238). The Gospel of Luke “portrays Jesus in the deepest and most intimate sense, as a friend to outcasts and sinners” (McReynolds, 2016). The parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37 allows the reader to understand that Jesus does not see the color of your skin or nationality as different, we are all human beings whom God cherishes. Luke 2:10-11 states, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to…

    Saul of Tarsus was a zealous leader in the opposition of Christianity. He viewed Jesus as a blasphemer and heretic whose followers were just as guilty. Saul felt that by arresting and persecuting them “he was doing a service acceptable to God”. (Harrison, 188.) He requested letters from the church leaders in Jerusalem to “authorize his persecution of the Christians” in Damascus. (Lea & Black, 296.) On his way, Saul was stopped and blinded by a bright light and loud voice. Those traveling with him did not understand what Saul was experiencing. Confused, Saul asked who was speaking to him. After learning that is was the Lord, Saul obeyed what he heard. His companions led him into Damascus. A devout Christian named Ananias came to visit Saul, after being prompted by God, and healed his blindness by placing his hands on Saul’s eyes. Saul remained in Damascus for three days, learning and teaching then left to share the gospel of Jesus.…

    Jesus Christ was born to Joseph and Mary born in a manger and was first discovered by some wise men traveling through the dessert. His childhood consisted of growing in the town of Nazareth where he was baptized at the age of 30. Shortly after being baptized, Jesus was led into the dessert by God where he fasted for forty days. While fasting, the devil tried to tempt Jesus 3 times, but he did not give in to temptation. When Jesus returned from the dessert he started preaching and teaching the ways of God to the people of Nazareth. “He started to perform miracles that included healings, exorcisms, walking on water, turning water into wine, and raising several people, from the dead.” (Wikipedia) He had 12 apostles which soon become his disciples and followers. They were told by Jesus to spread the word of God and to warn people of the ending of this world until everything remained perfect. Jesus and his followers traveled to Jerusalem during a Passover festival and they were greeted with great joy. While there he made one of the kings unhappy, was betrayed by one of his disciples, and was arrested for blasphemy. After his arrest, his disciples went into hiding and Jesus was crucified.…
