The Dividing Line - Acts 28
David Tavender

There's no doubt about it - even the most faithful believers and the most scholarly theological minds confess that parts of the Bible are simply perplexing. Unusual events, incredible miracles, strange apparitions ... there are passages that confuse and confound; some parts even appear to conflict, but there is a key!

We can't claim to have all of the answers, but a good many of the questions can be answered when we understand more about the 28th chapter of Acts, a major dividing line in the working out of God's purposes.

With these things in mind, this booklet seeks to illustrate:

	the place of Acts 28 in God's plans
	the differences in God's dealings with believers before and after the events of Acts 28
	the importance of acknowledging the significance of this chapter in our daily Christian walk.

Did Jesus of Nazareth Actually Exist?
Michael Penny

Bertrand Russell in his book "Why I am not a Christian" stated:

"Here I may say that one is not concerned with the historical question. Historically it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do not know much about Him, so that I am not concerned with the historical question, which is a very difficult one."

In this booklet the author disputes Russell's statment by exploring the wealth of historical evidence relating to Jesus of Nazareth.

A variety of evidence is studied: Clearly the Bible is the major historical source for the existence of Jesus Christ, but it is not the only one and we shall look at others first. There are references to Him in both ancient Jewish and Gentile histories.
