Teaching Acts: Unlocking the Book of Acts for the Bible teacher (Proclamation Trust Media) [Paperback]

Cook David (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 18, 2007 | ISBN-10: 1845502558 | ISBN-13: 978-1845502553

Published in conjunction with the Proclamation Trust.

There are commentaries and there are books on preaching – but very few books that enable the preacher or Bible teacher to prepare and present a series on specific sections of scripture.

This series complements commentaries by giving Bible teachers suitable tools to understand the context of Biblical books, doctrinal themes, the methods of interpretation, the key teaching points and how to deliver that message to the audience.

While very useful for preachers, the book is also aimed at enabling youth workers and small group study leaders have the confidence they need to teach Biblical principles and doctrine.

Teaching Acts takes the book of the Acts of the Apostles and enables the leader to explain the context of the early formative days of the church and the application of practical theology to specific situations that still affect the church today.

I think this book is great. Clear explanations of the text. Great outlines for sermons and a bundle of good questions to use in a bible study in your house.
