The gospel of Luke presents an ecological symphony that reveals a
Jesus connected to Earth. His ministry touches all aspects of
creation, human and non-human, and invites disciples into an
ecological asceticism. This same spirit continues in the Acts of
the Apostles. In this Earth Bible Commentary on Acts, Michael
Trainor allows our environmental concerns to shape his
interpretative approach, and thus ecological nuances emerge. Luke's
household of disciples, imbued with the spirit of the risen Jesus,
to embrace the world and bring to it a word of reconciliation,
embark on this mission. This formally begins at Pentecost with
their reception of God's creative and renewing Spirit that empowers
them as Earth's children. From this moment an explosion of activity
moves them over Earth's lands, beginning in Jerusalem, Earth's
navel (Acts 1.1-8.1), into Samaria, the space in-between that navel
and Galilee, the garden of God's earthly delights (Acts 8.2-11.17),
to the ends of Earth, Rome (Acts 11.18-28.33). As we trace Luke's
vast geographical journey around the Mediterranean, key moments
highlight fresh environmental insights that offer new hope for
contemporary disciples seeking ecological affirmation at this
particular time in world history.
