Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all provide a personal, independent, eyewitness account of the birth, public ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The next book, Acts, picks up where those four leave off and tells about the spread of Christianity throughout the known world in the first several decades after the Jesus' resurrection. Acts also provides the historical backdrop for the rest of the New Testament, which is primarily a series of letters written by the close disciples of Jesus -- people like Peter, James, John and Paul. Some of the letters are written to groups of Christians in a certain city while some are written to individuals, like Timothy. |
