To explore the depiction of the early Christian community in Acts.

Instructions: As Luke describes the early Christian community in the book of Acts, in many places, he is outlining the paradigm for the ideal community of Jesus followers.

After reading through Acts and the Powell textbook (Introducing the New Testament (2nd ed.). Baker Publishing Group), create a list of at least 3-5 "essential features" of the ideal community of Jesus' followers, making sure to cite evidence from Acts to support your conclusions.

Write a 300-word essay comparing what you know about present-day communities of Jesus' followers with your list of essential features. Which of those features does the present-day church resemble most closely? Where do they need the most work?
