Adult Sunday School Acts Intro

"There are two ways of writing history. There is the way which attempts to trace the course of events from week to week and from day to day; and there is the way  which, asit were, opens a series of windows and gives us vivid glimpses of the great moments and personalities of any period.  The second way is the way of Acts. ---- what Acts aims to dois to give us a series of typical exploits of the heroic figures of the early church" ---------William Barclay  (The New daily Study Bible)
