About this audiobook
The most prolific New Testament writer, the evangelist Luke left behind thousands of verses that can be daunting to navigate. Now, you can study Luke–Acts in depth with award-winning New Testament professor William Burton, O.F.M.
The Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles are two parts of a single triumphant work. Each an epic work in its own right, together they proclaim the gospel message and narrate the gripping story of the Church’s early days.
Using the metaphor of a double helix, Fr. William Burton asks you to imagine Luke’s gospel and Acts as a single account with many parallels or rungs connecting the two sides of the twisted ladder. He sets the scene by painting a vivid picture of the context out of which this work emerged: from a community of early Christians with a fraught history.
You will glean fascinating insights from Fr. Burton as you plot the spread of Christianity from its roots among the Jewish followers of Jesus in Israel “to the ends of the earth.” Fr. Burton effortlessly navigates this complex period in Christian history, holding up the texts of Luke and Acts as windows for you to peer through.
Perfect for your next Bible study or for enjoying during your commute, this brilliant audio course will forever change the way you think about Luke - Acts.
