  • Summary

  • Luke divides his history into panels or Books, separated by progress reports. Book 1 takes the reader from Christ's ascension to the birth of the church and concludes with the first progress report: “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (2:47).

    Throughout his account, Luke presents Christianity as an irresistible force in the face of significant opposition and persecution. Book 2 traces the expansion of the church in Jerusalem and introduces the two forces that oppose Christ’s followers—persecution from the enemies of Christ and pollution in the people of Christ.

    The same factions that crucified Christ now try to suppress His apostles.
