Acts of the Apostles? Of Jesus? Of the Spirit?


Some notes for tonight's class.

Speeches in Acts

1:1 “to do and to teach”

19 significant speeches in Acts by Christians (omitting the non-Christain speeches by Gamaliel the Ephesian town clerk and Tertullus)

Peter-8 (Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,10,11 and 15)
Paul- 9 (five sermons in chapters 13,14,17, 20, 28, four defense speeches in chapters 22-26)
James—1
Stephen—1

20% of the text of Acts is dedicated to speeches of Peter and Paul; 25% when you add Stephen.
