Download or read book Acts of the Holy Spirit written by Otu-amate and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing book is about the history of the church from the day of Pentecost to the present. It thus covers a long span of time: over 2000 years; thus the entire history of the existence of the church. Yet it is not, by any means, superficial or cursory; for it focuses on what one would regard as the most significant events and changes in the history of the church, providing incisive interpretations of these events and changes.The author contends that the name of the book Acts of the Apostles in the Bible is a misnomer and that the acts recorded there and indeed, in the entire history of the church are acts of the Holy Spirit. This is a valuable book, clearly written with a clear explanation of events. The book ought to be read by all Christians as well as students of the history of the church. It is rewarding reading.
Download or read book Reading Acts written by Joshua Jipp and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Acts tells the story of what happened after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is filled with adventure and entertainment as Acts narrates God's activity among his people and the world. In this book I explore one way of reading Acts that attends closely to the plotline of the book and seek to invite readers into the story that Acts tells. Along the way, I examine some of the most important themes of Acts, including divine activity, the extension of the gospel to surprising people in surprising ways, conflict and congruence between the gospel and the broader world, and the ongoing importance of Israel as God's people. While there are many excellent reasons to read Acts, I reflect too upon the theological and ethical vision of Acts for those who read this book as Christian Scripture.

In Together with the World, Michael Wagenman shows how the book of Acts can help modern Christians respond to crisis and critique in our contemporary world. The book of Acts is about more than simply the beginning of church history.

Download or read book The Book of Acts in History written by Henry J. Cadbury and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book a foremost New Testament scholar makes a signal contribution to the literature about the times of the first apostles.This period, when the memory of Jesus was fresh yet no written literature about him existed, lends itself well to the descriptive treatment Dr. Cadbury employs. The purpose of these pages, he writes, is to establish not so much the accuracy of the book of Acts as the reality of the scenes and customs and mentality which it reflects.... We can walk where the Apostle Paul walked, see what he saw, and become increasingly at home in his world.Five chapters deal with each of the five cultural strands then existing: Roman, Greek, Jewish, Christian, and cosmopolitan. The sixth attempts to reconstruct the earliest history of the book of Acts.
