About this product

Product Information

These essays introduce the reader to the interdisciplinary approach of New Testament scholarship which is affecting the way the Book of Acts is studied and interpreted. Insights from the social sciences, narratological studies, Greek and Roman rhetoric and history, and classics, set the Acts of the Apostles in its original historical, literary and social context. The discussions from a shared general perspective range over genre and method, historical and theological problems, and issues of literary criticism.

Reviews
"This is an indispensable collection for scholars dealing with the Lucan writings." Religious Studies Review, "What makes the present collection of essays essential reading is its conscious attempt to make the interdisciplinary connections that are often spoken of but rarely exemplified. This volume is one that can be read with profit by academics and clergy. It is highly recommended for all who wish to remain abreast not just of Luke-Acts studies, but of advances in utilizing interdisciplinary methodologies in biblical studies." Iain S. Maclean, ATR, "...the articles in this volume are of good quality. Good biblical libraries will want to purchase this volume." Robert F. O'Toole, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, "No student of Acts should overlook these essays, which contribute much to the study of Acts." Edgar Krentz, Currents, "This is an indispensable collection for scholars dealing with the Lucan writings."Religious Studies Review, "This diverse collection of essays covers many major issues in the study of Acts....Though written by and for New Testament schoalrs, the book is of value for other Religious Studies profesionals interested in the Book of Acts." J. Christian Wilson, Christianity and Literature
