Iain Duguid’s Thoughtful Exposition of Acts 9–18 Explores How God Uses Unexpected People to Advance the Gospel in Unexpected PlacesSaul’s conversion, from persecutor of Christians to witness for Christ, helped catapult the Great Commission. Boldly taking God’s message of undeserved grace throughout Jerusalem and beyond, he and the disciples saw the number of believers surge, particularly among Gentiles. Examining Acts 9–18, Iain Duguid offers new insights on this pivotal period in early church history. A companion to his book Turning the World Upside Down, which explores Acts 1–8, this volume follows the continued progress of the gospel and the perseverance of the saints. Duguid explains how God’s grace replaced Jewish laws concerning kosher food and circumcision. He also studies themes of judgment, healing, and the unexpected people God chooses to establish his church. As readers work through the text, they will gain a strong understanding of Christian history and God’s will for the body of Christ.
