Acts (Interpretation Bible Studies)

The death and resurrection of Jesus are not the end of the Good News, but only the beginning. In Acts, Luke tells the story of the workings of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the apostles and in the early church. The ascension of Jesus becomes, then, the beginning of the life of believers, who are empowered by the Spirit to follow their Lord and make known the message of God's saving acts in Christ. This volume is part of the "Interpretation Bible Studies" series and features maps, illustrations, definitions of key terms, background material, and questions for reflection or discussion. It covers key events such as the Day of Pentecost, the martyrdom of Stephen, the conversion of the first Gentile believers, and the world-changing journeys of Paul.
