Contents. The Book of Acts clearly focuses on the beginnings of the church, and two people… The apostle Peter, and the one who actually possessed the courage to go to the farthest parts of the known world with the gospel of Jesus Christ, his name was Paul the Apostle. The Gospel spread from Israel, northward to Antioch, and then westward to Asia Minor, Greece, and finally Rome, the heart of the Roman Empire.
The first 12 chapters of the book of Acts deal with Peter, and the remainder of the book, the last 16 chapters is devoted to the apostle Paul.
The major areas of history with which the author has dealt are :
1) The establishment and progress of the church at Jerusalem until the dispersion which arose at the time of Stephen's death (Acts 1-7);
2) The preaching of the gospel to the surrounding area, including its introduction to the Gentiles (Acts 8-12) ;
3) The preaching tours of Paul and the struggle to define the church's position with regard to the law of Moses (Acts 13:1-21:16); and
4) Paul's imprisonment, which began in Jerusalem and was concluded in Rome (Acts 21:17-28 :30).
Answer:
B. Robber Barons
Explanation:
I got it correct on the test. I mean it!
I feel greatly and passionate about people who are homeless. The reason I choose this is because they need help from people who are privileged to have money and a job to help them, and it will impact them in a good way. The issues with homelessness would be mostly solved if more shelters were put in place to help. Also people should be more compassionate about others situations. This is why I think homelessness is a big deal, important and fear because you never know what these people are going through
Correct answer: C. George Whitefield
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was one of the early leaders of the Methodist movement in England, and also came and preached in the American colonies. During his career, he preached tens of thousands of sermons, with millions of people having heard him preach. Ben Franklin was one of those who heard him preach and was impressed. Christianity.com reports that Franklin offered to print Whitefield's sermons and provided housing to Whitefield in Philadelphia above his shop on Market Street. Franklin wasn't a full "convert" to Whitefield's religious perspective, but he did have great respect for the work Whitefield did.
