Description
A Bible Handbook to the Acts of the Apostles
by Mal Couch
Numerous evangelical scholars have combined their talents to present an in-depth look at the major doctrinal themes and issues in the book of Acts from a dispensational perspective. Combining the best of a Bible Handbook and a sound biblical theology, this three-part work begins with a discussion of the major theological issues in the book of Acts. The second explores the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts. The third section presents a verse-by-verse handbook to Acts, discussing the background and significance of the people, places and events in the book, including numerous charts and maps.
