Download or read book Reading Acts written by Charles H. Talbert and published by Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Answers to the usual introductory questions do not yield sufficient harvest to enable an intelligent reading of Acts. The approach of Reading Acts is to ask how ancient Mediterranean auditors would have heard Acts when it was read in their presence. To be successful Talbert divides this approach into two parts- how Acts would have been heard in its precanonical context and in its canonical context.
