Zusammenfassung

From the very beginning Christians have sought alternative authorities. When Luke wrote his volume "Two" ("Acts"), the sequel to his Gospel, was he, like Paul, aware of the danger? Did he write simply to extol the exploits of the first Christians and prepare their leaders for canonization? This book suggests that Luke may have had other agendas.

Bad Acts of the Apostles Zusammenfassung

Bad Acts of the Apostles John Henson

From the very beginning Christians have sought alternative authorities - apostolic authority, the Church Fathers, Catholicism, Scripture, Calvinism, scholarship, charismatic ecstasy. When Luke wrote his volume "Two" ("Acts"), the sequel to his Gospel, was he, like Paul, aware of the danger? Did he write simply to extol the exploits of the first Christians and prepare their leaders for canonization? This book suggests that Luke may have had other agendas. The unique opportunity his researches gave him to compare the ministry of Jesus with that of his followers led him to record some events that show the apostles in a bad light. John Henson believes that when Luke sets down these events his disapproval may be detected. In this second edition John Henson also shows how Luke champions an alternative team of apostles. This is an unusual approach to the study of "Acts". The aim is not to debunk the apostles but to encourage Christians to seek over and over again the mind of Jesus.

Bad Acts of the Apostles Bewertungen

He does it again in this popular book - of which the first edition was quickly sold out. John shows how the Acts of the Apostles reveals, to our surprise, how the Apostles soon deviated in some respects from the teaching of Jesus. Reading it challenges us to ask ourselves whether we do the same. Adrian Smith, Catholic priest and former missionary, author of Tomorrow's Faith John Henson has done it again. He manages to bring to Scripture what is lacking in lots of other commentators - imagination that is grounded in radical theology and rooted in a commitment to the God who is like Jesus. Always thoughtful, sometimes provocative, never dull, the Bad Acts of the Apostles gives readers a different take on members of the early church. An enriching read. Howard Sharp, Moderator of the Mersey Synod of the United Reformed Church
