Acts 8 chronicles some of the historical heights and valleys ofthe early church. While believers mourn Stephen's death and Saulseeks to ravage the church, the gospel message is spreading intoregions beyond Jerusalem, and many are coming to faith inChrist.
In the sixth and final volume of Studies in the book of Acts,Lloyd-Jones works from this essential truth, reminding us thatthere are compelling and vital reasons to consider Christianityeven beyond the historical record. Exploring many issues that lieat the heart of the gospel, such as the empowering work of the HolySpirit and the all-encompassing purpose of Christ's death,Lloyd-Jones also speaks to the cultural deceptions that claimChristianity is nothing more than "a personal matter" or "justanother teaching."
