David R. Beck was Professor of New Testament and Greek. He begins his lecture by speaking about the research he has been doing on his sabbatical and the topic of his lecture, evangelism in Luke-Acts (00:00-15:34). Beck first examines the genre of Luke-Acts as an historical narrative, and he says that both parts are gospel-centered (15:35-20:15). Beck walks through many passages that speak about Jesus’ evangelistic proclamation in Luke and the evangelism of the apostles in Acts, and he concludes that evangelism was an intentional part of life in the early church, and it was powered by the will and sovereignty of God (20:16-50:36).
