Acts 8 chronicles some of the
historical heights and valleys of the
early church. While believers mourn
Stephen’s death and Saul seeks to
ravage the church, the gospel message
is spreading into regions beyond
Jerusalem, and many are coming to
faith in Christ.
In the sixth and final volume of
Studies in the book of Acts, Lloyd-
Jones works from this essential truth,
reminding us that there are compelling
and vital reasons to consider
Christianity even beyond the
historical record. Exploring many
issues that lie at the heart of the
gospel, such as the empowering work of
the Holy Spirit and the all-
encompassing purpose of Christ’s
death, Lloyd-Jones also speaks to the
cultural deceptions that claim
Christianity is nothing more than “a
personal matter” or “just another
teaching.”
Keeping other world religions in view,
this classic work offers penetrating
perspective as to how the Christian
church and faith differ from all
others, making the message of this
book a particularly poignant one in
today’s pluralistic culture.
