        Chapter 1: The First Three Centuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        1. “The Acts of the Apostles” is the earliest Church History, the forerunner of Eusebius and Bede and Burnet and others who have written of their own times. St Paul’s letters form<\/g> the first missionary correspondence. One cannot point to a date when the New Testament times ended and ordinary Church history began; miracles did not cease on the death of the last Apostle, nor was St Paul supernaturally aided by a gift of foreign languages. A study of the evangelisation of the world passes imperceptibly from the days of the Apostles, through the extension of the Church in the Roman Empire and beyond, until one comes down to the modern societies with their staffs of expert workers. In one continuous enterprise from the Day of Pentecost until to-day<\/g> the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ on earth has manifested His power.
