Book of Acts of the Term Paper

This could prove a difficult task filling in the blanks existing in what he had acquired by then

There are instances of inconsistency between Paul's journeys regarding his visits in Jerusalem (as recorded in Galatians 1,2) and those recounted by Luke, which point to Luke's inability to comprehend the perfect sequence of events and their importance accurately. However, the most important thing to note is that the latter chapters of the book, which concerned the author himself, are consistent with facts and very accurate while the challenges faced between chapters 1 to 15 related to events in Jerusalem, where Luke could have been for very few weeks

The purpose of the book also stretches its relevance to current-day Christians. The book gives hope to Christians because is highlights some events about Jesus after rising from the dead. From the book, Christians are made aware of the fact that Jesus left the Holy Spirit to help them in spreading the gospel besides being a counselor as they wait for his return

. Circumstances concerning Saul's persecution and the eventual redemption to be Paul the apostle are also relevant to Christians today. This requires them to shoulder all challenges as they strive to uphold and spread the gospel. Ultimately, God will reward them one day. Besides, the book also confirms that anyone can be an apostle even when others may consider him or her to be worst sinners. The relevance of the book to Christians cannot be underestimated
