History, Literature, and Society in the Book of Acts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521495202)

These essays introduce the reader to the interdisciplinary approach of New Testament scholarship which is affecting the way the Book of Acts is studied and interpreted. Insights from the social sciences, narratological studies, Greek and Roman rhetoric and history, and classics, set the Acts of the Apostles in its original historical, literary and social context. The discussions from a shared general perspective range over genre and method, historical and theological problems, and issues of literary criticism.
