The guides in this series are designed to help readers understand the Bible in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background and cultural information are provided.

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.

We call the book "The Acts of the Apostles," but we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus: Part Two." These studies help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform and empower our acts today.

The guides in this series by Tom Wright can be used on their own or alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentaries
