"Journeying through Acts" explores the literary and cultural
aspects of Acts and offers a fresh reading of this dramatic volume.
Acts is unique in the New Testament canon in part because it is not
a gospel or a Pauline letter. It presents a dynamic story of the
spread of the Christian gospel from Jerusalem to Rome. The gospel
was propelled by the earliest followers of the risen and ascended
Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, who is arguably the chief
protagonist in the narrative.
Spencer's reading offers a traveler's guide through the book of
Acts. He charts narrative features--plot development, character
building, and shifting points of view--and explores cultural
scenarios that affect the events in Acts--honor/shame contests,
patron-client relations, and purity-pollution boundaries. Within
this literary-cultural framework, Spencer undertakes to map the
temporal, spatial, and social settings of each segment of the Acts
journey.
"Journeying through Acts" offers students, pastors, scholars, and
lay readers a satisfying--although by no means
exhaustive--understanding of the overall narrative of Acts in light
of recent academic scholarship.
