Description
This volume is the second of three study guides on the New Testament. It discusses the final year of the Savior’s ministry, His prophecies of the Last Days and the 2nd Coming, the Last Supper, His atonement in Gethsemane, His torture, crucifixion and death on Calvary, followed by His mission to the spirit world, His resurrection, His 40-day ministry among the Apostles, and His ascension into heaven.
We follow the early ministry of the Apostles as they lead the Church during a period of rapid growth. From the day of Pentecost to the calling of Saul, we see the Gospel taken to all the world, including the Gentiles as well as the Jews.
The cover features the classic image of “The Last Supper” painted by Carl Heinrich Bloch in 1890.
