About this book
A unique introduction to the Acts of the Apostles, focusing on the book of Acts as an extension of the Jesus story.
With full-color photographs, maps, and sidebars about history, ancient literature, and archaeological finds,?Douglas Huffman takes readers through different introductory and interpretive issues in the study of Acts, including the genre, purpose, history, culture, and geographical setting of the story.
Equipped with these behind-the-scenes details, in broad strokes the author traces Luke's well-told recounting of the ongoing story of Jesus. Sensitive to the purposes Luke had for his text - as well as its connection to the Gospel of Luke - Huffman concludes by demonstrating how the Jesus story is intended to continue into the present.
Specifically designed as a textbook, the volume includes chapter overviews and summaries discussion questions and assignments, lists of key terms, and a glossary.
