Redemption: or the Ministry of Peter and the Conversion of Saul covers early church establishment following Pentecost through Paul's dramatic conversion. This volume narrates: Pentecost outpouring, Peter's bold preaching, early church unity, persecution beginning, Stephen's martyrdom, gospel spreading to Samaria, Philip's ministry, and Saul's conversion on Damascus road. White emphasizes Holy Spirit's power transforming timid disciples into fearless witnesses, persecution scattering believers and spreading gospel, and divine sovereignty using even chief persecutor as chosen instrument. The narrative demonstrates early church characteristics—prayer, unity, generosity, miraculous confirmation, and steady growth despite opposition. Saul's conversion proved no sinner beyond grace's reach while illustrating genuine conversion's transforming power. The book shows Christianity's explosive early growth under Spirit's direction.
All believers studying Acts, those interested in early church history, Christians understanding evangelism's power, and members appreciating conversion's transforming work.
