New Testament Models of Church Planting

Plot

To be the church is to be in mission, for the church is the body of Christ, the Savior. This study on church planting in the book of Acts helps us to understand the first-century church in its mission. St. Luke traces the spread of the church from Jerusalem across Asia Minor and on to Rome. He does not share the whole story of its spread across North Africa, but he does show us the dynamics of the movement. This people of the way -- described by Paul as a third people (1 Cor. 10:32) -- are above all disciples of Jesus Christ. - Foreword.
