Acts for Everyone (13-28)

Writing in an accessible and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us to
approach the rich and many-sided story of the book of Acts. Wright shows how
the book builds on Luke's gospel, laying out the continuing work and
teaching of the now risen and ascended Jesus in the power of the Spirit. His
writing captures the vivid way in which Luke's work draws us all into the
story, while leaving the ending open and challenging, inviting Christians today
to pick up and carry on the story as we in turn live our lives in the service
of Jesus.
Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task to provide guides to all the books
of the New Testament, and to furnish them with his own fresh translation of the
entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion,
with background information, useful interpretation and explanation, and
thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today. No knowledge of
technical jargon is required. The series is suitable for personal or group use.
The format makes it appropriate also for daily study.
