The Books of Acts is often called the 'Book of the Holy Spirit' or the ' Book of the Apostles.' Both reasons are obvious. Luke described to Theophilus in his first letter about Jesus' life up to the resurrection. Acts continues from there on starting with Christ's resurrection.
Jesus' Spirit is alive upon His disciples. The great things the apostles are recorded doing in Acts were only possible by the empowering of the Holy Spirit. Their response to Jesus at His crucifixion is clear evidence to the natural weakness of th apostles.
Luke traces the extension of God's kingdom from Jerusalem to the ends of the world. It is up to us to complete the Great Commission.
