As we study the names, titles and circumstances of Roman authorities, we see how remarkably accurate Luke’s account proves to be. Luke has details which show he was an eyewitness to some of these events and got significant details from Paul as well.

We discuss the clarity and accuracy of Scripture which disproves the attacks against the Bible by liberals over the years.The Bible contains the truth including objective facts about the civil system of the Roman Empire in Paul’s day.

Paul’s life was spared by Roman intervention which was provided to him because of his citizenship. Jesus had spoken to Paul that he would testify in Rome. He would be able to do so despite much opposition and intrigue.

At the end of this class we discuss the difference between the organic church the Bible describes and the institutional church which developed in church history.
