How do these two books relate to each other? And what do they mean for us today?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible and compelling introduction, Michael Bird draws us into the wide-ranging narrative of Luke-Acts to discover how Luke frames the life of Jesus and of the first disciples who set out from Jerusalem to \"the ends of the earth\" proclaiming the Good News. Bird shows us how these two books, when read together, tell a cohesive narrative about Jesus, the Church, and the mission of God--with implications for the whole of our lives today. Situating both books in their historical and literary context, Bird moves through an exploration of their central theological themes and culminates with consideration of the books' relevance for contemporary social issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514008092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514008096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023 pg. 128","brand":"Michael Bird","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44255096275199,"sku":"9781514008096","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ca7ee0f-da8f-49af-b3c6-da2024e3519e.jpg?v=1694616081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-birds-eye-view-of-luke-michael-bird-9781514008096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
