The Acts Of The Apostles by Ben Witherington III
A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary
A socio-rhetorical commentary that reads the New Testament’s second volume through the lens of Greco-Roman historiography, rhetoric, and social dynamics, it explores how the narrative moves from Jerusalem to Rome through the Spirit-empowered mission, the inclusion of Gentiles, and the leadership of Peter and Paul. Analyzing speeches, travel narratives, and cultural themes such as honor-shame, patronage, and civic identity, it offers passage-by-passage exegesis, engages ancient sources and modern scholarship, and argues for the work’s narrative coherence and substantial historical reliability while illuminating its theological aims.
