The remainder of the narrative is the Acts of the Apostles in the threefold division already referred to.
Thus, Part V. embraces the events in Jerusalem after the ascension, connected with the first ministry of the Apostles.
Part VI. the events connected with the progress of the Gospel in Syria.
Part VII. the events connected with the further spread of the Gospel through the ministry of the Apostle Paul.
Thus, the entire narrative consists of seven parts. Each of these has been subdivided into sections and paragraphs. The sectional headings have been made sufficiently full to form by themselves a complete summary of the history; and the table of them contains references by which each portion of the history may be traced to its chapter and verse in the New Testament.
The geography of the history is marked in the margin; the chronology in front of the sections. Chronological and other tables will be found at the end of the work.
In preparing the work the authors have consulted some of the best biblical commentators and harmonists, and have expressed no opinion except under the sanction of good authority. The narrative itself is given almost exclusively in the words of the sacred writers translated according to the Vulgate.
