description: Understanding Lukes Narrative in the Book of Acts The book of Acts is unlike any other in Scripture; it has no rival in terms of a book spanning so many different lands. Written by a Gentile it recounts the birth of the church age and the lives of early Christians that serve as lasting examples for the church today. When believers see how these events worked together to fulfill Gods promises they gain a better understanding of the Trinitarian heart of Acts. In The Mission of the Triune God  author Patrick Schreiner argues that Lukes theology stems from the order of his narrative. He shows how the major themes in Acts including the formation of the church salvation offered to all flesh and the prolific spread of the gospel connect. Through Schreiners clear presentation and helpful graphics readers follow the early church as it grows all under the plan of God centered on King Jesus and empowered by the Spirit.
