Plot

John B. Polhill traces the advancement of the Christian mission from its beginnings in Jerusalem to the Gentile-dominated church in Rome. Along the way the readers see afresh the movement of the Holy Spirit in Peter, Stephen, Philip, and Paul. Polhill wrestles with the history of interpretation of the Book of Acts while providing solid exegetical support for his own positons. This thorough and readable commentary examines the theological foundations of the early church's preaching and offers practical help for teachers and preachers alike in the contemporary Christian community. - Jacket flap.
