Summary "The Expositor's Bible: The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1" by George Thomas Stokes is an exposition of the New Testament written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the Acts of the Apostles, a historical account detailing the early Christian Church, particularly the narratives leading up to the conversion of St. Paul and the baptism of Cornelius. The author seeks to illustrate the significance of early Christian events by referencing various ancient documents and the testimonies of early Church figures. At the start of the volume, the author outlines the purpose and scope of the exposition, indicating that it intends to analyze the Acts of the Apostles, emphasizing its importance in understanding the formative years of Christianity. Stokes references notable early historical figures and documents as foundational to his study, establishing a context for exploring the origins and authority of the text. He also contemplates the role of certain figures, such as Tertullian, in confirming the existence and authorship of the Acts, thereby laying the groundwork for a deeper examination of the text's teachings and their implications for the early Church.
