Many Review questions for the Acts of the Apostles unit require familiarity with the Gospels. Students should be familiar with the complete Book of Acts [Chapters 1-28]. For a primary scriptural reference, we recommend either either the Douay Reims or the Revised Standard Version. Both can be found online:
- The Bible Gateway is a well-known and very usable search engine for Bible passages and includes complete version of over 20 Bibles (Catholic and Protestant).
- This version of the Douay Reims Bible contains good search algorithms and includes a summary of each chapter, making browsing easier.
A Children's Bible can sometimes help provide a quick review of the Gospels, but may not be sufficient for advanced level questions. The Bible histories listed below are in the public domain.

Christ, to the Acts of the Apostles, ending with Stories from the Epistles of Paul, James, and John.
