The Book of Acts, also known as the Acts of the Apostles, is called ‘Acts’ because it details the actions and deeds of the early Christian apostles after the ascension of Jesus Christ. The term ‘Acts’ signifies the active mission and ministry of these apostles as they spread the teachings of Jesus and establish the early church.
In this book, we see various ‘acts’ undertaken by the apostles, particularly focusing on Peter and Paul, showcasing evangelistic efforts, miracles, and the challenges they faced. The title reflects not just a historical account, but also emphasizes the dynamic and transformative nature of the Christian faith as it moved from a small group of followers to a global movement.
