In an accessible and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us approach the rich and multifaceted story of the book of Acts. Wright's writing captures the vivid way in which Luke's work draws us all into the story, while leaving the ending open and challenging, inviting Christians today to pick up and carry on the story as we in turn live our lives in the service of Jesus.
Wright shows how the book builds on Luke's Gospel, laying out the continuing work and teaching of the now risen and ascended Jesus in the power of the Spirit. He has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today.
The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions, and a glossary is included at the back of the book. Through his writing, Wright helps us to engage with the book of Acts in a way that is both informative and transformative, inviting us to continue the story as we live out our faith in the service of Jesus.
