Download or read book Beyond Acts written by Paul Finch and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-22 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Acts is a scholarly research study that intends to explain why the Book of Acts in the New Testament was never completed. Most of the Apostles were still alive when the Book of Acts abruptly breaks off without finishing the story of their last day's work. Nevertheless, there are many internal and external clues that help us fill in story. This book also addresses the chronology of the First Century and finally corrects the dates that have also contributed to not correctly understand the history of the Apostolic era. Furthermore, Beyond Acts discusses the New Testament Canon, plus a new view of the Caesarean Text Type. This is a must read for serious students of New Testament history.
