Subtle means not blatant, not obvious. Subtle acts are things that happen without being an obvious clue or plot twist or other part of the story.
Egyptians used stories to about their gods to explain acts of nature
AnswerNo. The Acts of the Apostles is essentially a record of the supposed acts of Peter and Paul, perhaps even a subtle comparison of the two apostles. Apart from Stephen, who is not mentioned anywhere outside Acts, there is no real mention of the other apostles.
I suppose the book of Acts could be 'considered the newspaper'. There are many stories of God's people preaching and believing in Acts.

Acts of subtle bias can create an environment where discrimination and dehumanization of a targeted group become normalized. Over time, these biases can escalate into more overt forms of violence and exclusion, eroding social cohesion and increasing tensions among communities. As societal acceptance of harmful stereotypes grows, it can lay the groundwork for systemic oppression and eventually lead to genocidal acts, as individuals and institutions justify extreme measures against those deemed "other." Ultimately, the gradual acceptance of subtle biases can desensitize society to the consequences of hatred, paving the way for atrocities.
Subtle can go both ways: either subtle/subtler/subtlest, or subtle/more subtle/most subtle. Both are correct.

In the stories and sermons of Acts, emphasis is placed on the importance of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, the forgiveness of sins through repentance, the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in believers, and the call to share the message of salvation with others. The experiences of conversion, baptism, and spiritual transformation are also highlighted as key aspects of the salvation narrative in Acts.
The stories we have today are built on earlier stories which go back to the original man, Nicholas, who was made a saint for his acts of kindness. He reportedly lived in Turkey.
Some spices have a subtle aroma. The wink she gave was no subtle clue.
Slaves often maintained their dignity by forming strong bonds with other slaves, practicing cultural traditions, and finding ways to resist or challenge their oppressive conditions. They found solace and empowerment in their communal relationships, songs, and stories, and often resisted dehumanization through acts of subtle defiance or rebellion. Personal acts of resistance, such as maintaining knowledge and skills, refusing to work at a fast pace, or finding moments of autonomy, also helped to sustain their sense of dignity in the face of adversity.
The opposite of subtle is obvious.
