使徒行传

History · New Testament · Luke the Physician · c. 80–90 CE

The Book of Acts narrates the origins and early spread of Christianity, from its beginnings in Jerusalem to its reach into the wider Roman Empire, culminating in Paul's ministry in Rome. It highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering the apostles, particularly Peter and Paul, as they establish communities and navigate theological transitions. The narrative charts the shift of the early church from a primarily Jewish movement to a multi-ethnic, Gentile-inclusive community.
