Providing an accurate, balanced and holistic picture of the church's monumental first years as told in the book of Acts, I. Howard Marshall focuses on Luke's role as a historian, literary artist and theologian as he tells of the fledgling church's quest to partner with the Holy Spirit to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth.
If there ever was an environment hostile to the gospel, it was strife-torn Palestine after the ascension of Jesus. And yet this is the stage on which the epochal events of Acts are played out. William Larkin's exposition highlights the places where Luke's account speaks to our skeptical twenty-first century culture.
Instead of using Acts as a prooftext for contemporary debates about speaking in tongues or church government, this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume offers a biblical-theological framework meant to expose Luke's own purposes and themes. We find that Luke wanted to be read in light of both the Old Testament promises and the reign of Christ in the inaugurated kingdom of God.
Paul's Mars Hill Experience for Our Pluralistic World
by Paul Copan and Kenneth D. Litwak
Capturing important insights from Paul's speech to the multicultural and multireligious city of Athens in Acts 17, Paul Copan and Kenneth Litwak seek to enhance and embolden the church's witness in today's pluralistic society by helping us point contemporary Athenians beyond "an unknown God" to the God and Father of Jesus Christ.
Edited by Francis Martin General Editor Thomas C. Oden

In this ACCS volume, substantial selections from John Chrysostom and Bede the Venerable appear with occasional excerpts from Arator alongside many excerpts from the fragments preserved in J. A. Cramer's Catena in Acta SS. Apostolorum.
