Acts, Volume 1 An Exegetical Commentary NEW Craig S. Keener Though there are four Gospels in the New Tes- tament, there is only one history of the apostolic church—the Book of Acts. How we understand its meaning and significance is crucial to the ongoing life of the church. That’s why we turn to one of the foremost NT experts of our day, Craig Keener, who has an awesome command of ancient primary sources, both Jewish and Greco- Roman, as well as the best of European and American scholarship. He has been widely praised for his socio- historical, rhetorical, and theological approaches. This projected 4-volume study promises to be one of the classic commentaries for our day. In addition to full exegetical coverage of Pentecost and the early days of the Chris tian church, there are major chapters on ancient historiography; proposed genres for Acts; Paul and Acts; the speeches in Acts; the role of miracles; how 24 Hours That Changed the World— Israel’s story is depicted; the author of Luke–Acts; Luke’s DVD Curriculum intended audience; his purpose in writing; specific One of the most innovative teaching pastors in the Lukan emphases; his views on women; the unity and country, Adam Hamilton unpacks Jesus’ last days on structure of Luke–Acts; and much more.
