The Jews had afterwards much…Read the comment

The book of Acts tells the story of a message of good news that extends to everyone worldwide…Read the comment

Thus closes this most precious monument of the beginnings of the Christian Church in its march from east to west, among the Jews first, whose center was Jerusalem; next among the Gentiles, with Antioch for its headquarters; finally, its banner is seen waving over imperial Rome, foretokening its universal triumphs.
