Beyond Content: A Verified Data Architecture
The Acts 2020 Project is a resource designed to reveal the expansion of the early Church in unique and compelling ways. By utilizing modern “big-data” analysis technology and a CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) approach, we have synthesized decades of exhaustive research from our Primary Forensic Source, Dr. John MacArthur, into a robust, interactive dashboard so you can engage personally.
Most studies of Acts look at the "What"; we audit the "How." Through seven distinct Forensic Lenses, we track the Historical Spine—the undeniable chain of events and prophetic fulfillments—and the Divine Engine—the active administration of the Holy Spirit. Our “Hub” platform is designed for the serious mature believer as well as the newcomer to Christianity. We enable participants to move beyond the narrative - and sometimes difficult theological language - to understand God’s Sovereign Mandate.
While most digital resources are scattered and unverified, Acts 2020 is built on a professional Master Sermon and Commentary Registry—a systematic mapping of the global church expansion in the 1st century - and continuing today.
The Data: 130+ forensic records from 50 years of Dr. MacArthur’s teaching (1972 & 2014 sermon series and 2-volume Commentary published in 1994) on the Book of Acts.
The Logic: Every verse is processed through our Sovereign-Forensic Workflow, ensuring historical accuracy and theological depth.
The Intelligence: Powered by state-of-the-art technology, our “Master Forensic Research Hub” allows you to interrogate the text, cross-reference decades of insight, and generate forensic, cited, text-based evidence in seconds and audio, video and infographic media in minutes.

Note: Every page of our portal (some might call this a “website” but it’s far more than that) includes sample queries. After you try a few, you will be comfortable exploring the Book of Acts in ways you never thought possible.
