The Acts of the Apostles joins the Gospel of Luke with the ministry
of Paul. Renowned New Testament scholar Richard I. Pervo shows how
this masterful storyteller worked his magic, drawing on
first-century literary techniques of narration and
characterization. Luke's literary skills did not prevent scribes
from re-writing his masterwork, however, the textual tradition of
Acts is among the most intriguing of the documents of the New
Testament, and is a focus here. Elegantly written, Pervo's
commentary provides a compelling interpretation of Acts in the
context of Hellenistic literature and the emerging Christian
movement, Readers will rediscover the "profit with delight" that
was the ideal of ancient story-tellers.
