Description
With full-color photographs, maps, and sidebars about history, ancient literature, and archaeological finds,?The Jesus Story Continues?is a unique introduction to the Acts of the Apostles. Douglas Huffman takes readers through different introductory and interpretive issues in the study of Acts, including the genre, purpose, history, culture, and geographical setting of the story. Equipped with these fascinating details, in broad strokes the author traces Luke's well-told recounting of the ongoing story of Jesus. Sensitive to the purposes Luke had for his text - as well as its connection to the Gospel of Luke - Huffman concludes by noting how the Jesus story is intended to continue into the present. Specifically designed as a textbook, the volume includes chapter overviews and summaries discussion questions and assignments, lists of key terms, and a glossary.
