An examination of the book of Acts reveals various persuasive phenomena associated with evangelistic proclamation in the book. This study identifies the four key persuasive phenomena - the Jewish Scriptures, witnessed supernatural events, the Christian community and Greco-Roman cultural interaction - and examines their impact on those people who heard or read the Acts narrative in the decades after its completion.
