Valuable overview of new work being undertaken on some of the chief preoccupations of current biblical studies with contributions from leading scholars in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the history of antiquity. History, literature, and society in the Book of Acts is an interesting and These methods of interpretation have only recently been applied to biblical study in a systematic way, and the discussions from a shared general perspective range over genre and method, historical and theological problems, and issues of literary criticism. Insights from the social sciences, narratological studies, Greek and Roman rhetoric and history, and classical studies set the Acts of the Apostles in its original historical, literary, and social context. These seminal essays introduce the reader to the interdisciplinary approach of recent New Testament scholarship which is affecting the way the Book of Acts is studied and interpreted.
