Purchase options and add-ons

Answers to the usual introductory questions do not yield sufficient harvest to enable an intelligent reading of Acts. The approach of Reading Acts is to ask how ancient Mediterranean auditors would have heard Acts when it was read in their presence. To be successful Talbert divides this approach into two parts— how Acts would have been heard in its precanonical context and in its canonical context.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Acts of the Apostles

I'm reading this book right now - about halfway finished. Wonderful work on Acts. If you want to read this, get Dr. Talbert's book on Luke, also. I read it, too, and the two compliment each other very well. In fact, having read his book on Luke made this book (and Acts) much more understandable than it would have been simply reading this one cold.

Classic Talbert. Readable, informative, provocative at times. All the hallmarks of a writer who can be brief but makes you think, and teaches you more hen you have to explain to yourself (on rarish occasions) why you disagree,
