This book by N.T. Wright offers an introductory commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, highlighting its central position in the New Testament. It looks back to the four Gospels and ahead to the mission of the early church, providing a framework for understanding the letters. Wright explores how the Christian movement detailed in Acts confronted the cultures of the Greek, Roman, and Jewish worlds, offering insights relevant to contemporary questions about the gospel and culture. The book is praised for its engaging and nuanced exposition, making it accessible for readers to deepen their understanding of the Acts and the Way of Jesus Christ.
In 'The Divine Commodity,' Skye Jethani explores how consumer culture has distorted elements of Christian faith, turning worship into entertainment, churches into corporations, and God into a consumable product. Using Scripture, history, and the art of Vincent van Gogh, Jethani articulates the problems of consumer Christianity and offers an alternative vision for a more meaningful faith. The book challenges readers to liberate their imaginations from consumerism's grip and to rediscover the values of Christ's kingdom.
After an exhausting year of politics and the re-election of Donald Trump, what is a faithful way for Christians to navigate the next four years? Should we continue to immerse ourselves in political news, or is it better to disconnect from the media? And should Christians join the political fights online, or unplug to better serve our local communities? The Holy Post crew responds to articles by a number of Christians leaders addressing these questions. Then, New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright, is back to discuss the book of Acts. Wright says an understanding of ancient temples is the key to the message of Acts. Also this week—the origin of F-words.
