Luke presents Christianity's growth as explosive. His is the story of its far-reaching spread "to the ends of the earth". If Luke were able to name his work (and it seems he never did), he would describe it as The Acts of God, or better still, the Acts of the Holy Spirit.
Luke to Theo, Again continues the author's journey into the Graeco-Roman-Hebraic world of the first century. With Peter and Paul as the protagonists of the Jesus Movement, Luke's sweeping panorama, with over 80 characters, moves from Jerusalem, across Asia and into Europe.
The author continues the practice of using box texts to illuminate various points in his commentary of Luke's text. Clear biographical, literary, historical, and geographical data is presented in easy-to-follow list and dictionary formats, as well as more detailed background mini essays on the beginnings and spread of Christianity.
