The Triumph of Christianity
“As for the triumph of Christianity, no student of civilization will ever underestimate its importance. Its victory over paganism was the purest ever won. For it was won by witnessing and enduring, by loving and suffering, by pouring out innocent blood. Conjecture loses itself in attempting to explain the 'why' and the 'how.' It was won by weak men and women, slaves often, and people of no social standing, but it was won against all the power and intellectual pride and prejudice of the civilized world.”
William Stearns Davis, Readings in Ancient History: Rome and the West
The Campaign Approach to the Book of Acts
If you want to understand the Book of Acts, you have to stop thinking of it as an ancient travel journal or a private devotional. It isn't either of those. It is a high-stakes, operational briefing—the account of a mission mandated by Jesus Christ and masterfully steered by the Holy Spirit. Two thousand years later, that mission hasn't changed, and it now sits directly on your desk.
A Field Guide for Modern Disciples
In the first century, the early church faced a world dominated by Roman legions, imperial infrastructure, and the hostile pressures of the Pax Romana. Today, we find ourselves in an increasingly secular, post-Christian landscape that feels eerily familiar. Because the world hasn't fundamentally changed, the operational mechanics we find in Luke’s account aren't just historical trivia; they are a direct, unchanging blueprint for how we execute the Great Commission right now.
The Acts 2020 Project takes a completely different path. We don't get stuck on the changing personalities of individual men; we focus entirely on the unchanging strategic roadmap issued by Christ. We treat the first-century church for what it truly was: an unstoppable, pre-calculated movement designed to break through every human barrier. That campaign never stopped. As a follower of Jesus in the 21st century, this is your field manual.
Built on an Undisputed Foundation
We believe that if you’re going to understand the mission, you need to be rigorous about the evidence. Our Interactive Research Hub allows you to interrogate the historical, cultural, and doctrinal data, synthesizing the consensus of a curated, mainstream panel of 12 trusted expositors.
Historical Weight: John Calvin, Matthew Henry, Charles Spurgeon, Stephen Armstrong
Expository Anchors: Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John MacArthur, Warren Wiersbe, William Hendriksen
Scholarly & Apologetic Rigor: D.A. Carson, R.C. Sproul, John Stott, Timothy Keller
The Tactical Opportunity
Because our modern landscape has returned to those first-century conditions, the apostolic tactics in Acts are the most effective tools we have for engaging our friends, relatives, and colleagues.
The early church didn't just survive; they advanced by aggressively analyzing their environment, strategically utilizing their rights, and turning cultural friction into a platform to preach. Today, we have a distinct asset the early Christians didn't have: instant, unhindered access to the completed Word of God and centuries of verified theological data.
Our interactive platform lets you engage directly with these assets. Whether you are a long-time student of the Bible or just starting, this curriculum helps you shift discipleship from a passive, private feeling into an active, frontline mission.
