6) Summarize the book of ACTS in 3 movements using no more than 100 words to explain
ed d

each section:
ar stu

a) The opening of the book until Pentecost


It begins with the risen King Jesus instructing His disciples about life in His kingdom
giving them the promise of the spirit. Jesus promises them that the Spirit would be
immerse with His presence. Jesus is then taken up and is enthroned as the son of man and
sh is

is exalted as king of the world.


b) Pentecost through the conversion of Cornelius the Centurion
Th

The Holy Spirit come on the disciples as a great wind, and something like flames appear
over each person’s head and they begin to speak in different languages that they didn’t
understand. Jesus new covenant family is the new temple that was promised. Then Luke
tells a tale of two temples. Here the disciples will gather, and peter would heal and preach
about Jesus until he gets arrested. Jesus’ followers are selling their possessions to help the
poor showing this as a place to see God’s generosity and healing presence. Then this leads
to the first persecution.

c) Paul's ministry around the Roman Empire
Paul and his co-works travel to different cities around the Roman Empire announcing the
good news that Jesus is King. Paul goes on three different missionary journeys. When
Paul enters a new city, he always goes first to the Jewish synagogue to share about the
risen king and how he is forming a new multiethnic family of God. He was opposed most
of the time. Later Paul returns to Jerusalem and gets attacked by Jewish people. In prison
he writes Apostolic letters. And this becomes the way his missionary legacy is carried on
long after he dies.

7) What was the strange paradox of Christianity that confounded the Roman empire and its
rulers?
The strange paradox of Christianity was that it was a Jewish messianic movement, but it
was ethnically diverse, full of communities that treated men and women and rich and
poor and slave and free, all as equals. And they all gave their allegiance to King Jesus

m
alone and no other god or king.
