Interesting. My Wed. Bible Study class completed the study of Revelation in January, and they just chose to study Acts as the next class. My first question was, “What would our New Testament look like if there was no book of Acts?” Imagine going from John to Romans with no Acts in between. It had to be there.

That would be hard to imagine. Although Paul’s writings (some of them) precede the Gospels.

There’s more coming on this. Part 2 and Part 3 for sure.

Have you ever noticed a change in tone when the Acts change over from being written in the third person to being written in the first person? (i.e., "they" starts to become "we") (starts around when St. Paul and Silas visited Troas in Luke 16:9-11)
