Book Description
Excerpt from The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2 of 2 The first great movement, from Jerusalem to Antioch, having been recorded in the previous twelve chapters, the historian now enters on the second, beginning at Antioch and ending at Rome, in which the field of operations is the Gentile world, and the principal agent the Apostle Paul (xiii-xxviii.) The first and largest portion of this narrative is occupied with the Apostle's active ministry, or his official labours while at liberty (xiii-xxi.) The historical account of these commences with his first foreign mission, that to Cyprus and certain parts of Asia Minor (xiii, xiv.) The division of the text now immediately before us contains, the first part of this mission, from its inception in the church at Antioch to the arrival of the missionaries at Iconium (xiii.) We are first told how Barnabas and Saul were designated to the missionary work (1-3). They then sail from Syria to Cyprus (4.) They visit Salamis and Paphos in that island (5, 6.) A sorcerer resists them and is struck with blindness (6-11.) The Roman Proconsul is converted (12.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2 Critical theories. Critical commentaries and works like Dr. Salmon's Introduction to the New Testament take such subjects into consideration and discuss them fully, omitting all mere exposition. My duty is exposition, and the supply or indication Of material suitable for expository purposes. If I had gone into the endless theories supplied by German ingenuity to explain what seems to us the simplest and plainest matters of fact demanding no explanation whatsoever, I am afraid there would have been little space left for exposition, and my readers would have been excessively few. Those who are interested in such discussions, which are simply endless, and will last as long as man's fancy and imagination continue to flourish, will find ample satisfaction in the eighteenth chapter of Dr. Salmon's Introduction. Perhaps I had better notice one point urged by him, as an illustration Of the critical methods of English common sense. German critics have tried to make out that the Acts were written in the second century in order to establish a parallel between St. Peter and St. Paul when men wished to reconcile and unite in one common body the Pauline and Petrine parties. This is the view set forth at length by Zeller in his work on the Acts, vol. Ii., p. 278, translated and published in the series printed some years ago under the auspices Of the Theological Translation Fund. Dr. Salmon's reply seems to me conclusive, as contained in the following passage, l.c., p. 336: What I think proves conclusively that the making a parallel between Peter and Paul was not an idea present to the author's.

Excerpt from New Commentary on Acts of Apostles, Vol. 2 Ver. 1. The Opening sentence of this part of Acts stands closely connected with the preceding part, taking its start from the return of Barnabas and Saul to Antioch; and yet, because of the new subject here introduced, its style is the same as if it were the beginning of an inde pendent narrative 1 (i) Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers, Bar nabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen foster-brother of Herod the.

Excerpt from Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2: The English Translations He was going up unto Heaven from beside us, as He was blessing us: Go forth, teach, and baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Spirit of holiness every one that believes and is baptized shall live.' For us too, then, my brethren, it is necessary to toil and labour throughout the whole world, and to go about in the countries, and to preach, and to teach all those who, in the worshipping of idols and with libations to devils, have kneeled before images, and fallen down (and) Wor shipped the accursed demons, the children of the left hand and let us bestow our labour, and let light shine in the ear which the evil one has blinded, and let the father of lying be crushed beneath the feet of us all. When these words had been spoken among the blessed assembly of the Apostleship, they parted from one another in the body, each of them being full of the Spirit of holi ness, who proceeded from the Father and came unto them, as the beloved Son had promised them.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 2 The church is here seen in a new and important aspect as a missionary church. Hitherto Christianity had been pro pagated in a measure by informal efforts and casual occur rences; the persecution at Jerusalem having given rise to the dispersion of the Christians, and the diflusion of their opinions. But now the church at Antioch plans measures and makes regular efforts to extend the gospel among the heathen. Paul and Barnabas are sent forth as the first Christian missionaries - the forerunners of that noble band of Christian heroes who sacrifice everything in order to difiuse the unsearchable riches of Christ among the Gentiles.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1 of 2: Explained The materials of this book were collected in a course of academical instruction, and prepared for publication, in the first instance, With a view to the peculiar wants of ministers and students. But after the first chapter was in type, the writer was induced to recommence the work upon a new plan, in the hope of making it more generally hseful, by the reduction of its size, and the omission of all matter supposed to be interesting only to professional' or educated readers. This Will account for the prominence given to the English ver sion, the exclusion (for the most part) of the Greek text, and the absence of any detailed reference to other writers. It Will be found, however, that the constant subject of the exposition is the inspired original, and that one of its main objects is to perfect the translation.
