History of the New Testament Church
Part 3
Today we conclude our 3-part series on the history of the New Testament Church. In part 1 we discussed the earliest, and only actual history we have of the New Testament Church, known as the book of Acts; written by a gentile physician named Luke. After 50AD he was a traveling companion with Paul. In Part 2, we completed the history of the book of Acts and examined some of Paul’s epistles to compare his actual example with the claims of modern scholars regarding his teachings. In Part 3 we will begin by looking at the influence of Greek pagan philosophy in the early church and explore the transition that took place after the death of the original apostles and their generation.
