God’s Acts for Israel, Gentiles, and Christians: A Theology of the Acts of the Apostles
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The book of Acts is often read as a narrative. Here’s how to read it as theology.
In this landmark essay collection, Joshua Jipp explains how the biblical book of the Acts of the Apostles illuminates what God has done for Israel, for Gentiles, and for Christians. The collection—which brings together new essays with previously published works—provides close readings of specific passages while also setting forth a comprehensive vision of the character, purpose, and activity of God. Among other topics, Jipp explores intertextual readings of Israel’s sacred writings, the suffering Messiah, ethnic reasoning, conversion, mental illness, economics, and hospitality. The result is a significant contribution to the theology of Acts and, by extension, the theology of the New Testament. Expansive in scope and evangelical in spirit, this is a must-read volume for New Testament scholars and theologians alike.
