The story of the book of the Acts of the Apostles is built according to geographical plan - from Jerusalem to Rome. It is known that first Christiane’s missioners preached The Good News in Egypt, Syria, Ethiopia and India. However, Luke chose the road to Rome. The Jerusalem was the cultural and religious center of Jewish nation. And Rome was the capital of a powerful empire, the capital of the World. In this way Luke depicted a full picture of the relationship between Christians and Jews, between pagans and Christians and prepared a special guide for the future Christiane’s generations who will preach the word of God. This article will analyze some specific assumptions regarding the significance of the geographical plan of the book of Acts, such as Luke wrote an apologetic essay for Roman officials. The author of this article disagree with such opinions and provides a different view on geographical plan of the Book of Acts. The road to Rome has opened a new Kingdom of God which there are no boundaries, there are no capitals. The kingdom of salvation for all people.
