The Acts of the Apostles /
Gaventa, Beverly Roberts,
The Acts of the Apostles / Beverly Roberts Gaventa. - 392 pages ; 23 cm - Abingdon New Testament commentaries . - Abingdon New Testament commentaries. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In a striking departure from customary readings of the Acts of the Apostles as the story of the growth of the church, Gaventa argues that Luke's second volume has to do with nothing less than the activity of God. From the beginning of the story at Jesus' Ascension and extending until well past the final report of Paul's activity in Rome, Luke narrates a relentlessly theological story, in which matters of institutional history or biography play only an incidental role. Gaventa pays careful attention to Luke's story of God, as well as to the numerous characters who set themselves in opposition to God's plan.
