Description
The primary impetus of this collection of essays on canonical and non-canonical Acts is to honor the scholarly achievements of Richard I.
Pervo. Pervo pioneered the view that canonical Acts is comparable to ancient fiction, insofar as the various episodes about Peter, Paul and the other apostles were composed to entertain, even as they inform.
In the spirit of this work, contributors to this volume do not sit idly by.
Prodding and provoking readers, these new and often exploratory essays travel at different speeds and with notable variation from center within the broad orbit of canonical Acts.
The hope is that this volume will foster serious conversation of the things discussed, with no small measure of delight along the way.
