Acts: A New Spirit and a New World

Luke set out to write an “orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled among us . . . so that you may know the truth.” His work encompasses two NT books: the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. In the book of Acts, Luke tells the story of Christianity in the first decades after Jesus’ resurrection. What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? What constitutes a life of discipleship? How should the work of Jesus’ followers move forward? What is their message? How did Jesus’ followers grow from a small group of persecuted followers to a movement that spread across the Roman Empire? In this class, we’ll see this tense story of God’s work to bring about a new world, through the work of a renewed people empowered by God’s Holy Spirit.

This eight-week class was last offered in the Spring 2005 St. Andrew Academy session.
