Description: Steve Walton has consistently focused his research and scholarship upon the theological perspective of Acts.

This collection of essays begins with an exploration of what 'reading Acts theologically' means, the divine perspective of Acts, and how Luke theologises through narrative. Walton presents analyses covering the nature of the early Church and the main terms used by the communities; the believers' sharing of possessions; early Christian attitudes to the Jewish temple; decision-making among the earliest Christians; and the church's engagement with the Roman empire and its representatives.

The theological themes studied are Jesus' role as a character in the text, the cosmology and anthropology communicated that provides a new reflection on the early Christian understanding of God, Jesus and humanity.
