of the Apostles? When I first learnt the bible I was confused about the Acts of the Apostles as they were so different from the rest of the bible. It seemed to be more like an applied church management or set of case histories for running church and getting converts, but God as he appears in the Old Testament and Gospels is far more remote. By contrast the Gospels and Old Testament were very clearly about what God did and what happens if you don;t give him what he wants. I wondered if Islam or Judaism hves similar books to the Acts of the Apostles and if so are they part of their holy cannon as well?
