243 Words1 Page

Acts of the Apostles is the fifth book in the New Testament. Written around the year AD 85, this book mainly tells the history and the founding of the Catholic church. Most of these events occurred between AD 30 to 65. It is also the only book in the bible that functions as a part two. Acts of the Apostles is the part two of the Gospel of Luke. Without the help of Saul of Tarsus, there would have never been a second book. The author of this book is Luke, and most of his works are written towards a Gentile audience. Initially, the book was intended for the jews but the they soon turn against the followers of Jesus. Rejected by the Jews, the book later directs the message to Gentiles. The book starts off with the story of the Ascension

  • Speaking Of Jesus Chapter 3 Summary

    456 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

    I was assigned to read the passages in the Gospel of Luke. Each passage had its own story and a unique message along with it—one was about the prodigal son, another talked about Jesus in the synagogue, one told the story of the Good Samaritan, etc. However, all together they convey a vision, Jesus’ vision of a just world. Taking it from a more general standpoint, one can easily see that Jesus sees a world that is merciful, forgiving, and inclusive. In his eyes, there are no outsiders.
