Description
This volume assembles essays on Luke and Acts by noted scholars from North America, Europe, and Oceania. Contributors both explore the historical and social aspects of reading Luke and Acts together, while and also on the book of Acts in its historical and literary context. Two essays consider the fundamental institutions of Luke-Acts – the Temple and the Church, respectively. A final essay reflects on Acts' narrative portrayal of God, who is both spiritual and social.
