Synopsis

Each PBC volume divides the Bible text into sections that are covered in a series of two page reflections, with concluding prayer or point for reflection. An introductory section covers issues of authorship, background and so on, including a list of books for further study. Acts is the story of the birth of the church and the beginnings of its journey around the world. The author, Luke, traces this journey from an upstairs room in Jerusalem through the travels of a host of individual disciples across the Mediterranean world, spreading the gospel wherever they go. It is also the story of the journey of faith - one of Luke's favourite metaphors for discipleship is 'the Way'. As we read, we share the excitement of those first Christians in finding that God is 'out there', waiting to meet and surprise them in the world.
