Study in Acts by H A Ironside, Chapter One The Waiting Period

The book of Acts, the great historical document of the New Testament, records the beginning of the church on Earth. There is no doubt that the writer of the third Gospel is also the one whom the Holy Spirit selected to write this account of the establishment of the church and the events connected with it. This becomes clear if we compare the beginning of Luke with the beginning of Acts.
