Please view / download a PDF sample of this book.

In this student-friendly, annotated and illustrated presentation of the Acts of the Apostles, St. Luke gives us a wonderful and encouraging history of the Apostles’ missions and trials after Our Lord’s Ascension into heaven. The student reads of the Descent of the Holy Ghost upon Our Lady and the Apostles; the famous sermon of St. Peter in which thousands are converted; the judgment of God upon Ananias and Saphira; the martyrdom of St. Stephen; Philip converts the Samaritans; Saul’s conversion into the great Paul the Apostle; his immediate zeal and preaching to the Jews; Herod’s persecution of the Christians; Peter’s deliverance by an angel; St. Paul’s preaching, travels, and trials; the Council of Jerusalem. With countless maps, this annotated version makes it easy to follow what would otherwise be a difficult text.

All the books of Sacred Scripture that Christ the King Books publishes include student-friendly annotations, images, and illustrations to aid in the understanding of difficult passages. The text of our annotated Scriptures is that of the Douay-Rheims English translation. This is in turn a faithful translation of St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate Bible, which is the only translation guaranteed by the Church to be free from doctrinal and moral errors.
