Conversations with Scripture (Paperback)

Paperback. As Luke's "sequel," the Acts of the Apostles serve as an ideal bridge between the four Gospels and the Epistles, revealing a crucial part of the Christian story. Here we follow the story of Jesus' earliest followers from their call to be his witnesses "to the ends of the earth," through their initial days of concord and numerical successes, to the challenges they faced as unfamiliar newcomers entered the scene. We discover the leadership changes that resulted from these challenges, explore a council's response to the struggles, and meet the champion who, against the odds, became the Church's chief protagonist. Author C.K. Robertson presents a well-researched, yet highly readable exploration of the Acts of the Apostles. The newest entry in the Conversations with Scripture series, by Morehouse Publishing in collaboration with the Anglican Association of Biblical Scholars,is designed for parish study or individual use, Each volume presents cutting-edge scholarship in a conversational tone and each chapter contains questions for discussion and reflection Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
