Today we are starting with the
book of Acts.
The book of Acts falls into two
main parts: Chapters 1-12, which give the story of the rise of the Church in
Jerusalem and its extension to Judea, Samaria and Antioch; and chapter 13-28,
which describe Paul’s three missionary journeys, his arrest in Jerusalem,
imprisonment in Caesarea, and journeys to Rome.
A more accurate analysis, however, reveals that there are (apart from
the introductory paragraph, 1:1-11) six divisions or periods, each concluding
with a brief summary of progress.
