The Challenge of Acts
A new and inviting introduction to the Acts of the Apostles from New Testament scholar and theologian N. T. Wright.
Acts is a substantial book. It sits right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and ahead to the mission of the early church. It provides a framework for our understanding of the letters; but it does more than that. Acts offers a sophisticated and nuanced view of what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel's Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel's Messiah claims the status of Lord.
N. T. Wright brings to the book of Acts his expert's eye on theological nuance and cultural context, distilling it down into an introductory commentary for anyone looking to take their reading a little deeper and discover the potential of the church and the Way of Jesus Christ.
