Acts 18:1-28

Paul has stirred up Athens and will now stir up Corinth in chapter 18. We meet some of the great saints of the apostolic church: Aquila, Priscilla and Apollos.

Things like Paul's secular craft of tentmaking, which he shares with Aquilla and Priscilla, come to light along with the return of Timothy and Silas. Paul is sick of the blasphemy among unbelieving Jews and establishes a policy of going to the Jews for a limited ministry and then going to the Gentiles. Justus and Crispus become 'messianic Jews' and continue on with believers.

There are a lot of other very interesting events like that of Gallio rejecting the Church State model that the Vatican would employ later in history, which would end with Sosthenes of the Achaia synagogue getting a beating for his persecution of believers!

The Bible is a Book like no other...
