Situated at the pivotal intersection of the departure of Jesus Christ and the arrival of the Holy Spirit, Acts and Paul s Letters: The Gospel to the Ends of the Earth tells the story of the birth of the Christian church and the remarkable spread of the gospel. Readers will learn how to interpret Paul s thirteen letters within the context of the historical telling of the early Christian movement in the Book of Acts and will gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of one of the most important epochs in human history. The Scripture Connections series is a concise and accessible guide to the Bible that focuses on Scripture's natural unity. Each volume covers a particular set of biblical books, providing a thorough overview of the content and background in a shorter page count than a traditional textbook. The authors bring forward connections between Scripture and the ancient world, other biblical texts, the good news of the gospel, and everyday life, inviting readers to engage more deeply with God's Word.
