Description
Willie James Jennings explores the relevance of Acts for today's struggles in this new commentary for the Belief series. He argues that Acts is not just the story of the Christian church, but a depiction of revolutionary life in the presence of the Spirit of God.
Jennings sees Acts as similar to Genesis, revealing a God who moves over the land, putting into place a holy repetition that speaks of God's willingness to invade our daily lives. Written during a time of Empire, when people were caught between diaspora Israel and the Roman Empire, Acts shows how the Spirit intervened, offering new life to both.
Through his commentary, Jennings shows how Acts teaches us about yielding to the Spirit to overcome the divisions in our present world.
