The Book of Acts is more properly a continuation of the Gospel of LukeThe Book of Acts picks up where the Gospel of Luke left off with the account of Jesus and continues the account of Jesus from that point. The Book of Acts reports how the gospel of Jesus through his witnesses was spread in ever widening circles to Jews and Gentiles alike. The Book of Acts could also be considered a documentation on the work of the Holy Spirit to gather , the Christian church, through the spreading of the gospel of Jesus. The book talks about Jesus’ ascension, Pentecost which marked the birth of the Christian Church, the church’s calling its first deacons or lay leaders to assist with the ministry, the conversion of Saul (Paul), the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Gentiles of Cornelius’ household.
