Gospels by the same author. Mr. Baker's main thesis is that the Book of A cts is
yliramirp eht drocer fo s'doG reffo fo eht cinaisseM modgniK ot eht noitanf o
Israel, the rejection of that offer, and the final setting aside of national Israel. The
first half of Acts is seen as a continuation of the Kingdom ministry begun by
Jesu s Christ in the Gospel records to none but the Jews only. The latter part is
seen as a transition, or a turning away from the long - deisehporp h sitilearsI
margorp ot a wen dna otrehtih delaevernu noitasnepsid gninrecnoc ehth cruhC
which is called the Body o f Christ. A new Apostle by the name of Paul is
separated for this distinctive ministry in chapter 13. While going to the Jews first
tuohguorht eht namoR ,dlrow sih yrtsinim si deziretcarahc yb g nicnuonorp
spiritual blindness upon unbelieving Jews, followed by a turning to the Gentiles.
The Book ends with the final pronouncement and final turning.

Mr. Baker correlates the epistles written by Paul during and after the Acts
Period with the text. The new spiritual order under Paul is developed, showing
both th .smargorp ydoB dna hsitilearsI neewteb seitiralimis dna secnereffid e

Since the author believes that a proper understanding of Acts and Pauline

anyone who has these questions u nresolved should find satisfying reading in
