English Standard Version
Remember, the Gospel is rooted in particularity. It happened among a particular group of people, rooted in a real place and real time. We were studying Genesis in Sunday School, and it's amazing how so many of the early stories are centered around real people who experienced real things, and then we turn to the New Testament, and it's the same thing -- God working through the lives and events of everyday people. They weren't any different than you or I -- they had a job to do in the life of the early church, and they did it, spreading the Gospel through their work.
