The energy and boldness of the early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles are an example we may have a hard time following. Our articles this quarter examine some important practices that were common in those early days: healing miracles, encounters with magic and sorcery, and, of course, compassionate ministry. We'll also look at Paul's conversion and Peter's confidence after Pentecost, as well as the ancient church at Syrian Antioch, the main missionary church of the first century.
