Jerusalem to Rome, Studies in Acts - CCS by Homer A Kent.
The Book of Acts becomes more fascination the more one studies it. Its pages provide the only reliable account of what reallt occurred between the Ascension of Christ Jesus and the remarkable spread of the Christian faith. It is the vital link between the earthly life of our Lord which began and ended in Judea, and the Christian church which by the middle of the First Century was to be found among the Gentiles, as well as the Jews as far away as Rome, and in most of the major cities at that time.
The writer's aim in this book is to place the thrilling story of Acts against its historical background, for then can its import be fully appreciated. Limitation of space had prevented a verse-by-verse treatment, but the grand movement of the Gospel has been traced with careful attention given to its crucial moments.
It was Homer Kent's devout hope that those who use this volume amy find their understanding deepened and their faith increased, and that they may joyfully and proudly join with Paul as he spoke of his Lord in words of personal commitment "Whose I am, and whom I serve." Acts 27:23
