Compelling and fascinating history worth the read

The historical information packed into this little book was worth the money spent on it. Fascinating to read this gives insight into the Apostle Paul and his life you won't get anywhere else. Is this really the "Lost Chapter of Acts"? I don't know. But the history Capt gives makes a compelling case. Names from the Bible come alive as never before. Take the time and read this little book.

Info from the book...

The Sonnini Manuscript, better known as The Long Lost Chapter of The Acts of the Apostles contains the account of Paul's journey in Spain and Britain. The document, purporting to be the concluding portion of the Acts of the Apostles, covers a portion of the period after Paul's two years enforced residence in Rome, in his own hired house. It is written in the style of the Acts and reads like a continuation. The Bible gives a fairly complete account of the life of St. Paul; his conversion, his missionary journeys, and his martyrdom in Rome. But there is a period of time, approximately six years, of which the Bible remains silent. This would be the period after his trial and acquittal in Rome and before his return to Rome to cast his fate with his many converts. These were his Christian brethern who were being put to death by the thousands during the reign of Emperor Nero. It would be reasonable to assume that during this period, Paul visited Spain as he had planned (Rom. 15:28) and perhaps re-visited some of the churches in Asia Minor. But, Paul had expressed a desire to preach the Gospel to those whom the name of Christ was not known. There can be no question that Paul had heard of the "Tin Islands" because the Romans had already conquered the greater part of Britain. The apostle could have met many in Rome and elsewhere who had been there, either as traders or with the Roman army. Having journeyed so near to Britain as Spain and Gaul, it is altogether reasonable to suppose that Paul would have made the short voyage across the English Channel.

Fabulous work and very, very possible!!!

There is a very good case made for this Lost Chapter being authentic, one reason some scholars think that the Book of Acts is incomplete is, that of the New Testament only Acts and one other (James) does not end with Amen. One more interesting fact is this writing is written in the same "manner" as Acts, many other interesting points are made for authenticty of this writing and the reasons as for it not being published are also pointed out. If you do not believe that this is God's word, you will at the least find it very, very interesting. I highly reccomend this book and when we meet our Father, it would not surprise me if this "Lost Chapter" is true after all.
