Developing A Biblical World View

FOR FURTHER STUDY

1. If you are interested in learning how the Gospel continued to spread throughout the world after the conclusion of God's written record, obtain the book "From Jerusalem To Iryian Jaya" by Ruth Tucker. It is published by Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A.

The witness to the nations has been divided into three great eras since New Testament times:

FIRST ERA:

The spread of the Gospel to the coastland regions of the world. This effort was initiated by a man named William Carey.

SECOND ERA:

The spread of the Gospel to the inland areas of the world which was initiated by J. Hudson Taylor.

THIRD ERA:

Launched by W. Cameron Townsend and continues through the present time. It is the effort to reach the remaining unreached people groups with the Gospel.

2. In the last chapter, you studied all the references to the world in the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The following references are those made to the world in Acts through Jude in the New Testament:
