In this episode of Five-Minute Debate, two leading scholars explore a foundational question: Is the Book of Acts primarily a theological history or a missional manifesto? Dr. Evelyn Carter emphasizes Luke’s theological intent to trace salvation history and God’s sovereign work in establishing His kingdom. Meanwhile, Dr. Jacob Morris argues that Acts is first and foremost a call to mission, structured around the church’s Spirit-empowered expansion to the ends of the earth. With references to Marshall, Bruce, Bosch, Keener, and others, this fast-paced exchange unpacks Acts through the lenses of history, theology, and global mission.
