Acts Study for Friday July 20

We will focus on chapter 8. What are we to learn from the episode of Simon the Magician in 8:9-24. Hear the weird history of Simon from Father Josh! Then let's look at Philip and his encounter with the eunuch. How is active in this scene, who is passive? Does looking at the activity and passivity of the characters give you a different reading?

Let's spend all our time on Stephen and his speech. We'll spend lots of time cross-referencing Stephen's use of scripture as well look at how he deploys the OT for the interpretation of the life and work of Christ.
