Synopsis
The book of Acts shows the spread of the gospel from a band of apostles all the way to the Roman Emperor. Luke, the writer of Acts, highlights the mission the church is on to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. But the mission is not one of their own making; the mission is God&’s, and it forms the unifying factor for all the people involved.Luke&’s account of the early church shines a light for our purpose today as well. As Scot McKnight says, we are called by God to participate in God&’s mission in the world to redeem it through Jesus Christ.&” What does this mission look like? How do we understand and apply the core message to our circumstances and conditions? Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, McKnight shares perspectives that reveal the enduring relevance of the Book of Acts for our lives today.Ideal for personal reflection or group study, Acts will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context.In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament.
