The Acts of the risen Lord Jesus : [manuscript] : Luke's account of God's unfolding plan / Alan J. Thompson. Nottingham, England : Apollos ; Downers Grove, IL : InterVarsity Press, 2011. 232 p. ; 22 cm. New Studies in Biblical Theology ; 27 Includes bibliographical references (p. 197-208) and indexes. Living 'between the times' : the kingdom of God -- The hope of Israel : the resurrection and the arrival of the last days -- Israel and the Gentiles : the kingdom and God's promises of restoration -- The promise of the Father : the gift of the Holy Spirit -- The end of an era : the temple system and its leaders -- The end of an era : the law is no longer the direct authority for God's people -- Concluding summary. Alan Thompson's aim is to offer a biblical-theological framework for interpreting the book of Acts, so that Luke's major themes may be identified and related to the book as a whole. He especially highlights Acts as an account of the 'continuing story' of God's saving purposes: Luke intends his work to read in the light of Old Testament promises and the continuing reign of Christ in the inaugurated kingdom of God.
