Start with the big picture.
Acts records the risen Christ’s continuing work through the Holy Ghost as the apostles bear witness from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and outward into the Gentile world. The book begins with the ascension and Pentecost, follows Peter and the Jerusalem church, narrates persecution and expansion, introduces Saul’s conversion and commission, records the opening of the gospel to Gentiles, follows Paul’s missionary journeys, and ends with Paul preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ in Rome.
