This book examines many of the strange events and actions in Acts
in the context of the Hellenistic world and from that perspective.
These events and actions include the ascension of Jesus, direction
by the Spirit, visions, angelophanies, prison escapes and
resuscitations of the dead. Many of these events are either avoided
in scholarship or are investigated with an agenda other than to
understand them for themselves. The book constructs an ancient
audience to be one that has a close familiarity with the Septuagint
and with other Greek and Latin writings. The culturally-strange
events are then interpreted through the lens of these texts.
