The New Testament Historical Books: Matthew. Mark. Luke. John. and Acts (The Amazing Collection: The Bible. Book by Book) (Volume 8)

The Bible is simply a love letter compiled into sixty-six books and written over a period ofsixteen hundred years by more than forty authors living on three continents. Although the authors came from different backgrounds there is one message one theme one thread that runs throughout the entire Bible from the first book Genesis to the last book Revelation. That message is God?s redeeming love for mankind?a message that is as relevant for us today as it was two thousand years ago.These five books (Matthew Mark Luke John and Acts) begin with the birth of Jesus Christ and conclude with the first imprisonment of the apostle Paul about six decades later. Over the course of these decades God introduced elements of His sovereign plan that turned the world upside down. He moved from an emphasis on the nation of Israel to an emphasis on the church from a covenant of law to a covenant of grace from His Holy Spirit merely coming upon people to actually indwelling them and from commanding Israel to live in such a way as to attract others to commanding the church to disperse throughout the world and make disciples of all nations.The Gospels give us four similar but distinct accounts of Jesus the Messiah God?s Son. His birth childhood ministry teaching miracles arrest trials death and resurrection are all handled differently by the four authors Matthew Mark Luke and John. But in every record by the time the tomb of Jesus was empty the world had been changed.While the Gospels tell the story of the life of Christ the book of Acts tells the story of the church of Christ. From its founding on the Day of Pentecost in the city of Jerusalem through its expansion around the then-known world to its crisis when the apostle Paul was imprisoned in Rome for the first time the story is one of excitement intrigue incredible growth and life-changing encounters.
