About the Acts of Faith series

Acts of Faith is a three-book biblical historical series, co-written by Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn, set in the first-century Roman world of the early Christian church shortly after the events of the biblical Book of Acts. Each book follows characters caught between the Roman authorities, the Jewish religious establishment, and the small, often-persecuted communities of the new Christian faith, moving across real early-church settings including Jerusalem, Antioch, and the road to Damascus.

As with Song of Acadia, the series pairs Oke's focus on personal faith and relationship with Bunn's broader historical and geopolitical framing, here applied to the founding decades of Christianity rather than a single family's story.
