DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

This is a study guide commentary, which means that you are responsible for your own interpretation of the Bible. Each of us must walk in the light we have. You, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are priority in interpretation. You must not relinquish this to a commentator.

These discussion questions are provided to help you think through the major issues of this section of the book. They are meant to be thought-provoking, not definitive.

1. Why did Paul even want to defend himself to this mob?

2. Why does Luke record three times Paul's testimony of his conversion on the road to Damascus?

3. How does the Spirit's use of Ananias refute Apostolic succession?

4. List Paul's special visions. Why did he need this many supernatural encounters?

5. How does the outcome of Paul's defense before this mob in the temple fit God's plan?
