Matthew to Acts

Jesus is a major religious figure within various religions all over the world. The Christian New Testament contains four biographies of Jesus that are commonly called the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John use eyewitness accounts to report the work and teaching of Jesus. Luke continues his writing in Acts with the history of the early Church. These writings are foundational to the other writings found in the New Testament, and to Christianity. Beginning with an explanation of how we got the New Testament, this book delves into these historical writings about Jesus and the Church. With plain language, the reader will be drawn into the concepts of Jesus' teaching and see the cultural context behind the events that are reported. There are also deeper investigations into other topics that help us understand certain aspects of the events, such as, the Passover meal, the crucifixion, and evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Make no mistake, this is a commentary. It is written with the average person in mind who may want to go a little deeper in their devotions or have a little help in leading a Bible study. Even pastors could benefit. Isn't it time that you learn more about the greatest religious figure in the world from eyewitnesses to His life?
