Acts for Everyone, Part Two: Chapters 13-28 by N.T. Wright

5.0

I’m already very familiar with the book of Acts, but reading it through this month, a chapter or two a day, with commentary from N. T. Wright’s Acts for Everyone volumes and the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary, really brought it to life for me in a new way. I see the bigger structure that Luke was crafting—the working out of the progression of the gospel throughout the world, and the connections to the narrative framework of Luke’s Gospel. Wright apparently has a story for every section of the New Testament, and the comments and stories he wove together in the Acts volumes were extremely helpful. I appreciate his honesty about what we know for certain about the events in Acts, what we can reasonably guess at, and what we just really can't know.
