What kind of book is the Book of Acts?
The Book of Acts is not a doctrinal book but a transitional, historical book. It records the shift from God dealing with Israel under the Law to His turning to the Gentiles. It is not to be used as a doctrinal base; doctrine comes from Paul's letters.
Les teaches that the Book of Acts is not a doctrinal book but a transitional book, historical in nature. It marks the shift from God's dealing with Israel under the Law to His turning to the Gentiles. Since Acts chapter 9, the grace of God without the Law began, while Jerusalem remained under the heavy hand of the Law and sacrificial worship. Les warns that trying to dig doctrine out of Acts will cause problems. Instead, basic doctrines for today come from Paul's letters, Romans through Hebrews or Romans through Philemon. Acts is merely a Book of Transition, with the two economies running side by side until one drops away and the other takes over.
