THE ACTS OF THE RISEN LORD JESUS
Luke’s account of God’s unfolding plan

This is the latest book in the consistently excellent Studies in Biblical Theology series from Apollos (IVP). Once again, they have produced a richly informed, biblically faithful, and eye-opening contribution.
Alan Thompson’s starting point is that, the Book of Acts being long, it can be hard to keep a grip on Luke’s developing material. More than that, although there is a healthy range of commentaries and other tools, there is a significant lack in the area of a consistent but useable thematic studies. The only equivalent resource is the heavyweight multi-authored Witness to the gospel, edited by Howard Marshall and David Peterson (Eerdmans, 1998).
