Reading Acts: Narrative, history, and canon -- God as the subject of Acts -- Israel's restoration and the Messiah's resurrection -- The Messiah and the people of God -- Surprising expansions in the people of God -- Paul - Missionary to the Gentiles -- Paul -Missionary to Israelites and kings -- Reading Acts as the people of God: A brief postscript.
The book of Acts tells the story of what happened after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is filled with adventure and entertainment as Acts narrates God's activity among his people and the world. In this book I explore one way of reading Acts that attends closely to the plotline of the book and seek to invite readers into the story that Acts tells. Along the way, I examine some of the most important themes of Acts, including divine activity, the extension of the gospel to surprising people in surprising ways, conflict and congruence between the gospel and the broader world, and the ongoing importance of Israel as God's people. While there are many excellent reasons to read Acts, I reflect too upon the theological and ethical vision of Acts for those who read this book as Christian Scripture. --
