Acts of the Apostles : Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries (Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries)

Readings from Acts are offered only during Easter, so how can preachers make this important book come alive throughout the church year? Acts of the Apostles helps the preacher identify possibilities for sermons based on texts and themes in the book of Acts. While offering a basic exegetical framework for interpreting passages in Acts in their historical, literary, rhetorical, and theological contexts, this volume also suggests ways in which the preacher can relate passages and motifs from Acts to the congregation and world today.
