Course Description:
Typically referred to as the "Acts of the Apostles" or the "Acts of the Holy Spirit", the Book of Acts is the exciting narrative of the church's formative years. Connected with Luke's Gospel, Acts picks up with the ascension of Jesus and takes readers through the adventures of early believers seeking to fulfill the Great Commission. Throughout the course, students examine the difficulties faced in the decades following Pentecost as the church sought to formulate doctrine and send missionaries throughout the Roman Empire. Learners will benefit from Dr. Wendell Babcock's academic and pastoral background as he teaches the text's historical and theological insights as well as noting spiritual applications for ministry today.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Grasp the message of Acts.
- Understand the historical and contextual setting of the book.
- Appreciate the struggles of the early church.
- Identify the key characters in the book's narrative.
- Apply the book's message to life and ministry.
