The book is designed to give at a glance a complete and graphic outline of Apostolic history. The outline follows the narrative of the Acts of the Apostles, supplemented by the data furnished in the Epistles, and interpreted in the light of the best scholarship. The historical details presented in their geographical and chronological setting, on a series of specially drawn maps, so that the student may follow easily the movements of the leading figures in the growth of the Early Church.
The historical notes are confined to important disputed points, and contains a simple statement of the conclusions of recent research. Brief geographical notes describe the places visited. I would acknowledge the very valuable help which Dr. G. G. Findaly has graciously given me in the compiling of this Atlas. - John Stirling
