A Narrative Commentary on the Book of Acts
A. D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution that Changed the World is a great survey of the major events and people of the New Testament Book of Acts. We learn about crucifixion of Christ, His Resurrection, Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, and the various individuals who figure prominently in early Christianity including Peter, Stephen, Philip, Barnabas, Paul, Cornelius, and Dorcas (also known as Tabitha). The intersection of Judaism, Christianity, and the Roman world is a common theme in the book. The author also uses several biblical and non-biblical anecdotes throughout the narrative to illustrate and explain the story of the Book of Acts and how we can apply its lessons to our lives. My takeaway from this book is that we need to demonstrate encouragement, patience, kindness, and humility in order to advance the kingdom of Christ. In sum, this highly readable and informative book is ideal for a seasoned pastor, the novice Christian, or anyone seeking life lessons from the Book of Acts.
