Acts (ESV Edition)

The Church Afire

About this book

How did Christianity become one of the most important religions in world history? Any investigation into this important question must begin with Acts—the biblical book that chronicles the tumultuous days of the early church and the spread of Christianity in the years following Jesus's death and resurrection. In this redesigned volume in the popular Preaching the Word commentary series, Kent Hughes leads pastors and laypeople alike to rediscover the history of the New Testament church, examining key events in the book of Acts such as the bold preaching of Christ's early followers, the dramatic persecution of Christians, and the perilous missionary journeys of the apostle Paul.

Part of the Preaching the Word series.
