Book of Acts

Post-resurrection narrative

The Book of Acts, often called Acts of the Apostles, is the fifth book of the New Testament, chronicling the early Christian church after Jesus's ascension.

It follows the apostles—particularly Peter and Paul—as they spread Christianity through the Roman world.

Acts serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke, attributed to the same author: We're studying Acts in Bible study this semester.
