| Description: | The Acts of the Apostles is unique; there is no literary or artistic or dramatic form to which it may be accurately compared or contrasted. So how can we study it? But if we are to judge by the completed work, we can imagine that the author saw his task something like that of writing a libretto for an opera. An opera is the most complex of all artistic forms: It must speak to the ear, the eye, the mind, the heart; it depends on an abstract medium - music- to display human character; it makes demands on the audience unequaled by any other form. The Acts of the Apostles also placed great demands on the author-and it demands much of the reader. He or she who begins the study of the books starts on the journey of a lifetime! The Seven Sessions are: The Ascension, Pentecost, Before the Council, Gentiles Admitted, Paul in Thessalonica, Paul Before Agrippa, and Paul in Rome. |
