It certainly is the New Testament Book of history, simply known as Acts! Corresponding to the Old Testament Books of Joshua through Esther, all being historical in nature as well.

And ACTS … this amazing 28 chapter Holy Spirit inspired Document is going to bee our next field of study, the Lord willing.

It is most basically divided into two Sections. Those being chapters 1 through 12 … then correspondingly chapters 13 through 28.

With the first Unit focusing on Peter, Simon Peter. And the second highlighting Paul, the Apostle Paul.

Yes, there are tinges of Paul in the first half of Acts (his conversion in chapter 9, for example.) And appearances by Peter in the last half (his miraculous deliverance from prison (in chapter 12, again just an example.) But overall, this binary look at Acts holds true.

And though the Book is entitled “the Acts of the Apostles” … and no criticism from me on this point … it is just as fully described as being “the Acts of the Holy Spirit” too!

I base that evaluation on Acts 1:8, perhaps even the “key verse” of the whole Book … “But ye shall receive POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Amen!

More tomorrow, Lord willing, as we begin our journey. I do not intend this to be a voluminous Tome analyzing every word in the Book. That’s too vast a job for a Website venue. Rather, chapter by chapter … sharing with God gives me day by day.

And YOU, dear reader (dear student of the Word of God) are invited to come along …
