This is the first complete English translation of Luke's Demonstration to Theophilus (the books of Luke and Acts) as found in Codex Bezae.
Codex Bezae is a bilingual 4th century Greek-Latin manuscript. In the past it has been viewed as a marginal manuscript witness. However, the pioneering work of Jenny Read-Heimerdinger and Josep Rius-Camps (The Message of Acts in Codex Bezae 4 vols, published by T&T Clark) has brought the variant readings in this fascinating document to the fore. Their work reveals that, far from being a late revision, Codex Bezae can be seen as one of the oldest versions of Luke's work in existence. This book presents the two texts unified in one volume, as Luke intended them, for the first time in any published edition. After an introduction explaining the importance of the Bezan text, as well as providing obeservations about its variances from other manuscripts a meticulous and continuous Greek transcript is presented together with the English translation on facing pages. This will prove an indespensible reference tool for scholars of Luke-Acts.
Описание: In The Function of the Speeches in the Acts of the Apostles, Janusz Kucicki offers a new approach to interpretation of speeches contained in the Acts of the Apostles. He separated all speeches from the narrative parts of Acts and analyze them independently. Without narrative contexts the speeches expose their interrelation that allow to categorize the speeches into two major groups. The first group named "the topic speeches" contains the speeches, which create the topic group with common theme that is developed within the three speeches, where the first takes introductory character, the second takes the progressive character and the third takes the conclusive character. The second group of speeches named “the structural speeches” contains the speeches without developed theme.

Описание:
Fr. Lawrence Farley explores the Acts of the Apostles as St. Luke's sequel to his Gospel--an apology for the Christian Faith as the fulfillment of Judaism, a gospel for all peoples, and a faith that poses no threat to Roman government or society. It's also the greatest adventure story of all time.

Описание: The main purpose of this set of mission focused Commentaries is to fill a large gap. At least to my limited knowledge, a set of Bible Commentaries that has this same mission focus does not exist. It may be that I am uninformed since I served the Church as a foreign missionary in Nigeria my entire career from 1964-1997; and I had very little contact with developments in the field of Biblical studies during that period of time. Yet, this gap surprises me, since the entire Bible reveals, in many beautiful and carefully planned details, how God's mission-heart has always been busy carrying out his gracious mission-plan to lost mankind. I have, therefore, attempted to describe in my Commentaries some aspect of God's mission-plan in every verse of the New Testament, beginning with the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. All of Scripture reveals the mission-heart of God and his mission-plan.God is love (1 Jn 4:16), and therefore, he has a most gracious mission-heart. And mankind is the crown of his creation and the main object of his love; therefore, he has always longed to live together with all human beings in perfect relationships in a perfect world forever (Ezek 18:32; 1 Tim 2:4). That was and still is his eternal plan. However, he also created mankind with the freedom to choose whether they would return his love or not, since it would not be true love if he forced anyone to love him. After Adam and Eve bore children, the question is: did they tell them and others about God's love for them? The Old Testament gives us only a few clues that they must have done so. In spite of the fact that the early chapters of Genesis record many, many years of human history, we read about only a few people, such as Enoch (Gen 5:24) and Noah (Gen 6:9) who loved and worshipped God-but very few indeed Then, after many years, God continued to develop his mission-plan by calling Abraham to be the father of a new nation, the nation of Israel, whom he chose to be his special people (Deu 7:7). He graciously gave Abraham faith in himself, and blessed him and his descendants, so that they would be able to be a blessing to all other nations by telling them about God's love for them (Gen 12:1-3).Then, "when the fullness of time had come" (Gal 4:4), God revealed the very heart of his mission-plan by sending his own Son, Jesus to be born into the nation of Israel as the only true God/man, in order to rescue all of lost mankind from sin (Lk 1:31-33). And then, after Jesus' ascension, God began to carry out the final stages of his mission-plan in a new era by beginning to create a new nation of Israel, the Church. He did so by sending his Holy Spirit to empower the mission-hearts of the faithful believers on Pentecost Day (Acts 1:8). Thus, the new Israel includes both a remnant of his chosen people from the old Israel as well as Gentiles from every nation on earth who trust in Jesus as their Lord (Rom 11:25-26). Furthermore, the Holy Spirit then also continued to inspire men to write down his holy Word in the New Testament, so that he can use both the Old and the New testaments to strengthen his Church, in order to prepare them to go and tell the Gospel to the lost people of all nations (Rom 10:17; Gen 12:1-3). And this last part of his mission-plan will not be complete until the Lord Jesus returns on the Last Day. And on that Last Day, God will finally fulfill his original plan by bringing together his new nation of Israel in order to live with them in a perfect new world forever (Rev 21:1-2).

Описание: The Acts of the Apostles: Four Centuries of Baptist Interpretation is a landmark work of research, containing examples of specific ways that Baptists have used Acts in their confessions, sermons, tracts, commentaries, monographs, devotional and denominational literature, speeches, and hymns. Including the entirety of the Acts as translated by Baptist luminary Helen Barrett Montgomery, this commentary beautifully illustrates the diversity of Baptist responses to this book of Scripture, and in so doing, a variety of hermeneutical approaches within the Baptist tradition.

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.

Описание: Allen Hilton examines how pagan critics ridiculed the early Christians for being uneducated, and how a few literate Christians took up pen to defend the illiterate members of their churches. Hilton sheds light on the peculiarity of this "defense", in which the authors openly admit that the critics have the facts on their side, noting that the Book of Acts even calls two of its heroes, Peter and John, illiterates. Why did the authors of these biblical texts, intent on presenting Christianity in a positive light, volunteer such a negative detail?
The answer to this question reveals a fascinating social exchange that first surrounded education levels in antiquity, and proceeded to make its way into the New Testament. This volume provides context for pagan education as opposed to early Christian illiteracy - touching upon the methods of ancient learning and the relationship between Christian and pagan schools - and analyses the 'uneducated virtue' of the Apostles. Hilton provides a useful window onto the social construction of ancient education and ushers readers into the everyday experience of ancient Christians, and those who disdained and defended them.
Описание: This study on Jesus`s resurrection in Acts explores the historical, theological, and canonical implications of the resurrection in early Christianity.
