Acts of the Apostles

Definition

The Acts of the Apostles is the story of how the movement that became Christianity began in Jerusalem and spread throughout the Eastern Mediterranean cities of the Roman Empire. It was written by the same author as the third gospel, assigned to Luke, sometime between c. 95 and 120 CE. The combined work, known as Luke-Acts to scholars, is the longest text in the New Testament.
