Introduction: A Journey with the Holy Spirit

Picture the moments after Jesus’ ascension, a period marked by miracles, trials, and profound spiritual growth.

Traditionally, this era is understood through the apostles’ eyes as recorded in “The Acts of the Apostles.” However, what if we’ve misunderstood the narrative all along?

What if the real story is about another often overlooked character?

Let’s journey through the book of Acts through the perspective of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate Jesus promised in John 14:16–26. Watch as the Book of Acts transforms into the unofficial fifth gospel of the New Testament.

The Gospel… According to the Holy Spirit.

Rediscovering the Spirit with Origen’s Insight

The foundation of my research is Origen of Alexandria (185–253 CE), who penned “On First Principles” to systematically explain Christian theological ideas.

Origen emphasized the importance of speculation, spiritual exploration, rather than definitive doctrine.
