This Book presents the story of the Church at the beginning of its setting forth, after the ascension of the Lord Christ, and the dwelling of His Holy Spirit, along thirty years. St. Luke the Evangelist, inspired by the Holy Spirit, presented it to reveal to us the Church in the apostolic era: The secret of its birth, its growth, its worship, its testimony to the Lord Christ, and its strength through the work of the Holy Spirit; And to reveal to us the realisation of the Lord’s promise to His disciples:_ “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” _(Matt. 28.20) … [and] Acts 1:8.
