Abstract
Preaching in Acts is defined by the important Lukan concept of the plan of God. This concept provides the theological basis for Luke's understanding of preaching. God has acted for the salvation of the world through the suffering and resurrection of Jesus, and is now acting through the preaching of the disciples. In Acts the disciples must preach as a result of the activity of God. Acts, therefore, emphasises the necessity of preaching. The content of preaching also revolves around the plan of God. In addition, the response to the preaching, whether people accept or reject the message, inevitably leads to the spread of the gospel. Therefore, the preaching of the disciples not only conveys the message of God's plan; it is an integral part of that plan and illustrates its inevitable fulfilment.
