By N.T. Wright

How do we understand the book of Acts both in its context and what lessons can we gleam from its narratives to help us live today? Tom Wright discusses the story, the background of the cultures involved, Paul, and how Plato has influenced the discussion since the time of the Church Fathers until now. And how our end goal is resurrection on the new Earth and not Heaven as an end state.

This is a good beginner’s guide to Acts. See my discussion of Wright’s book on Ephesians, my critiques are still the same.
