Acts 15 Explained: Did the Apostles Reject the Torah for Gentiles?
Acts 15 is one of the most debated passages in the New Testament. This study of the Jerusalem Council explains the circumcision controversy, the four prohibitions, and the meaning of the Apostolic Decree for Gentile believers. We show how Peter, James, and Paul upheld salvation by grace and expected ongoing obedience to God’s law—“Moses being read every Sabbath.” Topics include: the party of the Pharisees (15:5), Amos 9 in James’s ruling, and why Acts 15 does not abolish the Torah for Gentiles.
