    About this ebook

    The mysterious presence of Jesus haunts the whole story of Acts. Jesus is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world. We call the book "The Acts of the Apostles," but we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus (II)." These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today.

      A study guide for the book of Acts. It serves as a companion to the Acts for Everyone commentary series; it can be used on its own, but some of the questions will seem a bit strange if you have not considered the commentary.It may take some time to get used to the format, but once you do, it remains consistent throughout. Some questions are information based; others are more probing and application-based. There's a good mix of questions for a study group.A recommended resource.
