The Church at the peripheries: Paul’s last journey (Acts 27:1-28:14)
Bernard, Matthieu
The Church at the peripheries: Paul’s last journey (Acts 27:1-28:14) - 2022.
36
Paul’s last journey plays a very particular role in the narrative ecclesiology of Acts: in a proleptic way it outlines, the mission of the Church to the “peripheries”, the “ends of the earth” in the programme of Acts 1:8. Without making any explicit announcement and despite his captivity, Paul remains a true herald of the Gospel: he shares anxieties and hopes, feeds with the bread of grace, makes himself available to all, blesses and heals. Gestures, which even today, still inspire the mission of the Church today.
