About this ebook
What was at the heart of the New Testament church? What were its essentials and priorities? How did it function? How did they relate to one another? What persecution did they face and how did they cope? How did they share the gospel? The first part of Acts is a fascinating and inspiring account of the early church.
This publication is part of the Epistole Bible Study Series, by the late Dr David L Cook. Each study in the series features questions for individuals and group discussion, together with a follow up section for each study.
Dr David L Cook
Dr David L Cook ( 1932 - 2013) was a highly experienced Scottish educationalist and Bible teacher. He worked in education all his life, first as a classics teacher, and then secondary school headmaster. He studied the Bible continually throughout his life, and was familiar with NT Greek and also Hebrew. As well as his MA in the classics, he obtained both a BD and a PhD in Theology. From a young man until his late 70s, he travelled all over Scotland, and beyond, preaching and teaching, mainly in Brethren churches. He wrote several Bible Study booklets, which he had hoped to revise and make available, but he passed away before that work was completed. His family have completed that work and the studies are now available as the Epistole Bible Study Series.

What you need
1. Your Bible. Make sure the print is easy to read. The basic version for this study is N.I.V. For close study, using a modern ‘word for word’ type of translation, consult the English Standard Version.
2. This booklet and a pen or pencil.
3. The desire to learn what the Lord wants to teach you.
How to proceed on your own
1. Always with prayer and dependence upon the Holy Spirit.
2. Read the passage of Scripture as often as necessary to grasp its general meaning.
3. Answer the questions and write down your findings so that you will be able to read them again. Don't avoid this. It will help you. What you write is for your own eyes, for nobody else's. So don't have any hang-up about writing.
In the group
1. Come with the spirit of learning together.
2. Try to participate in the group in a natural way.
3. Others will be helped by your contribution, however brief, as you will be helped by theirs.
4. No one is forced into saying anything, but even a nod or shaking of the head, a smile or a frown adds something. Be there if at all possible, even if you have not had as much time to prepare as you hoped.
5. Try to find time as soon after the group discussion to go back over the passage again. There's a follow-up section to help you with this.
Note: Some hyperlinks to www.biblegateway.com beside the Bible passages referenced in the study have been added for your convenience, eg 1 Cor 13 N.I.V.
