The New Testament book of Acts ties the story of the Lord's life to the first forty-five years of the Church. It proves the Apostleship of Paul as it compares his ministry to that of Peter, the undisputed leader of the original twelve Apostles. In this commentary, Dr. Hastings explains all the issues presented and carefully identifies the purpose of all the rest of the books of the New Testament and where they were written within the story of Acts.
