Brief Introduction
Prof. N.T. Wright guides students on the movement of the message of the GospelDescription
The Acts of the Apostles is the second book written by the biblical writer Luke. Luke continues the story of the risen Jesus who will now extend His reign through the apostles and others to the furthest reaches of the Roman Empire. The story will provide rich insight into the working of God through the Holy Spirit to establish churches in cities large and small and we will see how Peter, Paul and others interacted with a sometimes hostile environment as they proceeded.
We follow the movement of the inaugurated Kingdom of God through this wonderful book. There are many exciting events that provide a sense of the amazement and the challenge of spreading the message of Christ throughout the Empire. The course won't answer every question we have about the Acts of the Apostles, but we shall follow the journeys where they take us geographically and theologically!
Requirements
- Students should have a hunger to learn more about the New Testament.
- Students should be ready to engage in theological thinking with other students and through interaction with the instructors.
- (Optional, but helpful) Students should acquire the textbooks Acts for Everyone, Parts One and Two
