Description

‘The whole unfolding Let’s Study series is a must for every Christian home that is serious about getting to know the Word.’ — Covenanter Witness

Dennis Johnson has taught the book of Acts to seminary students for over twenty years. Here he leads the reader with clarity and insight through the amazing process by which Jesus’ words were fulfilled: ‘You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth’ (Acts 1:8).
