Description: "This course approaches the New Testament Book of Acts as both history and theology. The Study Guide written by Craig S. Keener focuses on both the history of earliest Christianity found in Acts and the Early Church and its leaders as models for subequent Christian life and witness."--Cover.

This groundbreaking commentary is the first to provide a detailed social and rhetorical analysis of the book of Acts. Ben Witherington draws on the best new insights from a number of disciplines to provide readers with the benefits of recent innovative ways of analyzing the text of Acts. In addition, Witherington gives detailed attention to major theological and historical issues, including the question of the relationship of Acts to the Pauline letters, the question of early Christian history and how the church grew and developed, the relationship between early Judaism and early Christianity, and the relationship between Christians and the officials of the Roman Empire. - Back cover.
