The New Acts of the Apostles consists of lectures A. T. Pierson delivered to various academic centers in Scotland as part of the “Duff Missionary Lectureship” series. Dr. Pierson treats the age of missionary activity commencing with William Carey as an illustration of the continuity of the “Acts of the Apostles,” noting comparisons and contrasts in the following six lectures: • “The New Links of Mission History” • “The New Apostolic Succession” • “The New Visions and Voices” • “The New Converts and Martyrs” • “New Signs and Wonders” • “The New Motives and Incentives”
“Human schools often spoil, puffing up with pride of learning and worldly wisdom, self-consciousness and carnal ambition.” (Page 59)
