Description
Willie James Jennings explores the relevance of Acts for our contemporary struggles in this new commentary for the Belief series. Jennings argues that Acts is not just the story of the founding of the Christian church, but a depiction of revolution and life under the disrupting presence of the Spirit of God.
Set against the backdrop of Empire, when people were caught between diaspora Israel and the Roman Empire, Acts shows how the spirit of God intervened, offering new life to both. Jennings reveals that Acts teaches us how people of faith can yield to the Spirit to overcome the divisions of our present world.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the book of Acts, revealing a God who is always moving over the land, putting into place a holy repetition that speaks of the willingness of God to invade every day and moment. A valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the relevance of Acts in today's world.
