Chapter III
There were many people who became prominent leaders, missionaries, and evangelists in the early church, and many more whose names were not written in the book. Some of these people only have "minor" roles, but they were important in the whole scheme of things. Scarcely more than thirty years after the day of Pentecost Christianity had swept through Asia Minor; Antioch had become a great Christian church. The gospel had penetrated Egypt and in Alexandria the Christians were strong. It had crossed the sea and come to Rome and swept through Greece. Like an unstoppable tide it spread throughout the world. These are a few of those people who obeyed the commandment to spread the gospel throughout the whole world.

About the Book
This book gives a short biography of the people named in the book of Acts. Some were important in the spreading of the gospel, and some were determined that they would stop the spreading of the gospel. Some are Old Testament figures who were important in the history of the world. Three are crucial; without them, there would be no gospel.
