Document Summary
The apocalypse of john = the book of revelation. Antioch; barnabas sent and collects paul: e jerusalem: peter arrested, escapes, and leaves, d2 gentiles: paul and barnabas preach in cyprus and. Southern asia minor: c2: jerusalem council: community discusses accepting gentiles, b2 gentiles: paul preaches around the aegean, a2 jerusalem: paul arrested and tried 3 times: he recounts receiving spirit. Conclusion: paul goes to rome and spreads message. Central theme: spirit and gospel going to the gentiles. Focus on paul as apostle to the gentiles. Gospel moves from jerusalem to greek speaking areas and finally to rome. This adds to reasons why jerusalem was destroyed. It was not simply rejection of jesus but also of the spirit. Acts is a continuation of luke: has many of the same themes as luke: Gentiles, salvation for all, the sharing of wealth, the poor, and a focus on the spirit. Prophecy delayed: gospel must go to the whole world.
