Acts: The Gospel of the SpiritThe book we call "Acts of the Apostles" is really the "Acts of the Holy Spirit," an insight that has stood the test of time, and which proves the key to this vital book. Justo Gonzalez takes this insight deeper, inserting the Gospel of the Spirit into its social context. Each verse is discussed in terms of both its social and theological implications. Book jacket. |
