The Book of Acts describes the spread of the gospel throughout the known world of the first century and the establishment of Christian churches in many different places. As the gospel entered new places, its preachers often faced opposition from followers of other religions, and sometimes this opposition extended to include political persecution. Nevertheless, within a generation the gospel had spread from Jerusalem to Rome and beyond. While Luke, the writer of Acts was a historian, Acts is not merely historical but also provide principles and lessons for contemporary churches to imitate as they continue to spread the apostolic gospel today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eBruce Milne is a well-respected pastor and theologian who pastored First Baptist Church, Vancouver, Canada, for eighteen years until he retired in 2001. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eCover:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003e535\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eMilne, Bruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eChristian Focus Publications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003e2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Milne, Bruce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39815140507801,"sku":"9781845505073","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/products\/fbed76db8f39c06dc5aaa4a834b713f7.jpg?v=1618602432"},{"product_id":"9781845505585_focus-on-the-bible-series-galatians-gods-proclamation-of-liberty","title":"Focus on the Bible Series - Galatians: God's Proclamation of Liberty","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003eBook Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eThe glorious doctrine of justification by faith far exceeds even the great charters of freedom and liberty which we have seen throughout history.

Written for both scholars and lay readers, this commentary illuminates Ezekiel's unique voice during Israel's darkest hour—the Babylonian exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedd masterfully guides readers through Ezekiel's stunning visions, from the divine chariot-throne to the valley of dry bones, revealing how these dramatic images communicate timeless truths about God's holiness, justice, and redemptive love. The book demonstrates how Ezekiel's message of judgment against Jerusalem's corruption simultaneously offers hope for restoration to the faithful remnant in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this commentary apart is its clear connection between Ezekiel's ancient prophecies and their fulfillment in Christ.
