We cover the events mentioned in Acts 27-28, from the last few months of Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea, until he was sent to Rome by Festus the Roman Governor (or Procurator). We discuss the whole voyage, especially the shipwreck on the island of Malta. There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast.
