The Challenge of Acts

Wright brings out not only the key points of the story of Acts but also (and more importantly) the theological ideas embodied in the story. -- Loveday Alexander, Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies, University of Sheffield Like a good tour guide, Wright takes us to the biggest highlights, shows us some artifacts that most might miss, and ably explains why it should matter to us today. -- Michael F. Bird, Deputy Principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia Tom Wright describes Acts as 'a page-turner'. The same could be said for Wright's interpretative reflections on Acts, as he explores its twists of plot and overarching themes. -- Jeannine K. Brown, Professor of Biblical and Theological Foundations, Bethel Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota Wright presents his insights in a highly readable, engaging, and often witty way, developing pervasive themes in Acts. -- Craig S. Keener Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary This brief and accessible commentary not only charts a clear course through the twists and turns of Luke's action-packed narrative, it also offers numerous insights into the practical and theological relevance of Acts for Christians today. -- David M. Moffitt, Professor of New Testament Studies, University of St Andrews Illuminating, beautifully written, and rooted in good scholarship. Read it - you will benefit. -- Steve Walton, Senior Research Fellow in New Testament, Trinity College, Bristol
