A Bible Handbook To The Acts Of The Apostles

Numerous evangelical scholars combine their insights to present the best of a Bible handbook and a theological study.

Peterson focuses on how Luke framed his narrative and speeches as well as his theology, demonstrating that Acts was written for Christian edification and to encourage mission.

Leading biblical scholar Thomas Schreiner provides an easy-to-navigate resource for studying and understanding the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline Letters. This accessibly written volume summarizes the content of each major section of the biblical text to help readers quickly grasp the sense of particular passages. This is the first volume in the Handbooks on the New Testament series, which is modeled after Baker Academic's successful Old Testament handbook series. Series volumes are neither introductions nor commentaries, as they focus primarily on the content of the biblical books without getting bogged down in historical-critical questions or detailed verse-by-verse exegesis. The series will contain three volumes that span the entirety of the New Testament, with future volumes covering the Gospels and Hebrews through Revelation. Written with classroom utility and pastoral application in mind, these books will appeal to students, pastors, and laypeople alike.

Christians On the Move is part of a Bible study series based on Dr. Henrietta Mears's best-selling Bible handbook What the Bible Is All About. With Dr. Mears as teacher and mentor, readers will study the book of Acts, which chronicles the continuing work of Jesus and His Spirit through the apostles and the early church. Readers will gain a clear understanding of key events--the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the apostle Paul's conversion and missionary journeys--yet also see how those events fit into the bigger picture of God's plan of the ages, laid out from Genesis to Revelation. Perfect for individual or small group study, each session includes discussion/reflection questions to help readers apply God's Word to their lives.

Marshall's commentary on the Book of Acts is a contribution to the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, a popular study aid designed to help the general Bible reader understand clearly what the text actually says and what it means without going into scholarly technicalities.
