The Prolonged Struggle of Supernatural Forces for Creationas Loyalty as Revealed Ina Vol. IV.aThe Times and Ministry of the Early Christians aThe Acts of the Apostles. Heritage EditionaOver 100 Century-Old Illustrations, 385 pages. This fourth volumeaThe Acts of the Apostlesacovers the experience of the early Christian Church. While the Bibleas book of Acts covers a period of only a little more than three decades, it is filled with important lessons for the church in every age. God clearly indicates that the Christian today shall experience the presence of the same Spirit who came with power at Pentecost and fanned the gospel message into a flame. The acts of the Holy Spirit through Peter and Paul, John and James, and others can be repeated in the modern disciple. The abruptness with which the book of Acts closes is not accidental; it deliberately suggests that the thrilling narrative is unfinished, that the acts of God through the Spirit are to have their sequel throughout the Christian dispensationaeach successive generation adding a chapter full of beauty and power to the one that preceded it.
