“Michael Wagenman introduces the Book of Acts in a lively, informative and accessible manner. He gives us a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural background, an exploration of key characters and themes, and an engaging discussion of the dynamics of power in relation to suffering and conflict experienced in the early church. There is helpful material on the mission of the church in relation to the mission or Kingdom of God. The work will be useful to those preparing to preach or lead studies on Acts. Above all, the book does what any good introductory study should--it makes one want to delve once again into the text of Acts itself.”
