How much of the book of Acts is about Paul?
Seventeen of the twenty-eight chapters of Acts are devoted to Paul, the apostle who was not one of the original twelve and was not converted until long after Pentecost. This large proportion signals a deep reason: Gentiles have a distinct relation to Paul not shared with the other apostles.
Les reads from William R. Newell's book Paul vs. Peter, page 10, where Newell observes that 17 of the 28 chapters of Acts are given to Paul, who was not one of the original twelve and was not converted until long after Pentecost. Newell asks whether this must not indicate a deep reason, then notes that Gentiles have a relation to Paul they do not have to the other apostles. Les uses this quotation to reassure those who think he makes too much of Paul and separates Peter and Paul, because he believes separating their ministries is the only way to understand Scripture and avoid the total confusion seen in much of Christendom.
