How did a movement that began as a reform within Judaism become in just a few decades one in which Jews were greatly outnumbered by Gentiles? How did a church that began on Palestinian soil become an organization spread throughout the Roman Empire? The Church's Mission to the Gentiles traces this story in an overview of the book of Acts and in an introduction to the career and writings of the apostle Paul, the one individual most responsible for this transformation. Emphasis is given to the work of Paul as a missionary, theologian, and pastor.The entire All the Bible series is an exciting approach to biblical study. It combines the best of recent scholarship with a readable, nontechnical style that invites study by churches, Bible study groups, pastors, laypersons, and students at all levels.
