Intrigue! Rebellion! Economics!
Did the earliest Christians practice a form of communism? What does the Book of Acts say about it? Was it an economically sustainable system, or an ancient pyramid scheme? What can we know about the Jesus followers' reasons for selecting this way of life? Should Christians surrender private property in order to live their faith more authentically? Did the early Christian community in Jerusalem have to worry about double agents and spies? And what is up with Ananias and Sapphira dropping dead in Acts 5?
