| Publisher Description: The mysterious presence of Jesus haunts the whole story of Acts. Jesus is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world. We call the book The Acts of the Apostles, but we should think of it as The Acts of Jesus (II). These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today. |
