The
Book of Acts
is the writing in the Bible (or accumulated Scriptures accepted by most Christian denominations) that is a continuation of Luke's Gospel, but appears after the
Gospel
of Saint John. Gospel means "
good news
." The Acts of the
Apostle
s is the story of the
disciple
s of
Jesus Christ
after His death and
resurrection
.
The coming of
the Holy Spirit
as a
baptizer
, and the Apostleship of Saul (now
Saint Paul
} of
Tarsus
are the main
elements
in this
chronology
.
Here we are introduced to the first Christian
martyr
,
Saint Stephen
. He was
ordained
as one of the first
deacon
s (
usher
|/waiters]) of the church, but wound up
preaching
the whole history of
Isreal
, up to the present situation of his audience's guilt in
crucify
ing his Lord Jesus, and wound up
stoned to death
.
Pentecostal
, and
charismatic
Churches use the "Day of Pentecost" in this book as proof text for the same Holy Spirit Baptizing today, with its evidence of
speaking in tongues
.
The journeys of the Apostle Paul, being beaten,
shipwrecked
and jailed almost rivals those of another ancient written about in Greek,
Ulysses
.
