  2. Acts, Our History Book “…The book is designed for the enlightenment of Christians generally concerning the historic origins of Christianity. It is in truth the first church history. It is in reality the Acts of the Holy Spirit as wrought through these men. It is an inspiring narration…” (ISBE., Vol. 1, pg. 46.)

  4. “Set for the Defence of the Gospel”(Phili. 1: 7, 17) • ‘Apologia, a speech made in defence” (Vine). • “Apologia, literature, a work written as an explanation or justification of one’s motives, convictions, or acts” (RHCD).

Instead of attempting to become “modern,” we must remain with the pure gospel as exemplified and practiced in Acts. “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God” (Acts 20: 27, vs. 28-32).
